Abstract:
For patients with a chronic condition such as multiple sclerosis (MS) who self-administer injectable therapies, comfort is important. This article reports on a comparison study of needles used to administer MS therapies and calls for medical device manufacturers to develop needles with decreased penetration forces to minimise trauma, which may increase patient comfort.
