It is a rare neurological disease that affects 1 in a million people. Most neurologists will encounter only one or two cases during their career.

First described by Moersch and Woltman in 1956, it is two to three times more common in women than in men. It appears, in most patients, between 20 and 50 years old.

Many patients with SPS also suffer from type 1 diabetes, anemia, and some types of cancer.

No, at present, there is no cure for this disease. However, analgesics or muscle relaxants are recommended to relieve symptoms and medications for anxiety, as they can lead to anxiety among patients.
