Method: The present research was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest method with control group. The study population included all patients with multiple sclerosis support member with MS. S. Tehran province was in 1397, 30 patients with M. S. Among eligible and volunteer patients, they were selected and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received eight sessions of treatment as copping therapy, and the control group received the same number of routine care sessions. To measure of the hypothesis, human Immunological Biomarkers kits were used to measure and blood samples collected 3 times and psychologically intervention was coping therapy. Findings: The results showed pre-test and post-test and follow-up component of IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, INF-gama, white blood cells, lymphocytes and a significant difference (05/0> P) and grades stage follow-up measures remained fairly stable and lasting effect of the intervention is still coping therapy.
