Human Study on Interoception in Multiple Sclerosis
The study found that higher interoceptive sensibility in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) was linked to poorer accuracy in a specific task. While this correlation was not observed in healthy controls, exploratory analyses indicated a potential specific connection related to multiple sclerosis that warrants further investigation.

Why it matters
Understanding how interoceptive sensibility affects task performance could provide insights into body representation challenges in multiple sclerosis, contributing to better management approaches for affected individuals.
What this does not prove
The study may not capture all dimensions of body representation impairment related to MS due to its focus on subjective and objective aspects of interoception.

findingsRESULTS: After strict multiple-comparison correction, higher interoceptive sensibility (SAQ Total Score) significantly predicted poorer accuracy on the HLT in PwMS. No significant correlations survived correction in the HC group. Exploratory analyses in PwMS suggested an uncorrected disease-specific link between higher IAc and higher deviation and shorter response times in the FBE task.
