MS patients may soon pee away painful bladder tests

Summary
This study looks at whether a substance in urine, called S1P, can help doctors check bladder function in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Many MS patients have overactive bladder, but the standard test is invasive and uncomfortable. Researchers will measure S1P levels in 400 MS patients before and after treatment to see if it matches results from the standard test. If it works, it could lead to a simple, pain-free way to monitor bladder health.
