Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve overactive bladder symptoms in women with multiple sclerosis (MS). The treatment targets brain areas linked to bladder control, aiming to reduce urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage. About 29 women will receive either real or sham (placebo) stimulation over 10 sessions, with follow-up lasting 4-5 months. The goal is to find a safer, less invasive option than current medications.
