First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether adding Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) exercises to standard pelvic floor muscle training can improve bladder control in women with multiple sclerosis. Twenty-four women aged 28-54 completed an 8-week program, with half doing pelvic floor exercises alone and half adding DNS exercises. Researchers measured urinary symptoms, incontinence, and pelvic floor muscle function using questionnaires and muscle tests.

Active substance

Pelvic floor muscle training and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization exercises

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a better non-drug exercise program to ease bladder problems in women with multiple sclerosis.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises require supervision and may not help all types of urinary symptoms.
