Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of digital pelvic floor muscle training and lifestyle recommendations in patients with Multiple Sclerosis having lower urinary tract symptoms.
Detailed Description
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are very common in MS. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is one of the first-line choices for the conservative treatment of LUTS. According to our knowledge, no study has investigated the effects of digital pelvic floor muscle training and lifestyle recommendations in MS having LUTS, yet.
