Abstract

MSA is associated with both non-specific and disease-related pain types, which may be neuropathic, nociceptive, nociplastic, or mixed in nature. These findings inform the development of tailored tools for identifying distinct pain sources in MSA, as each may require a specific therapeutic approach, including targeted treatment of motor and non-motor symptoms. © 2026 The Author(s).
