NCT ID NCT07166809
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.
