Summary

This study tests whether a daily topical blend of lavender and rosemary essential oils can reduce urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage in adults with multiple sclerosis. Sixty participants will use either the essential oil blend or a placebo oil for six weeks. Researchers will track symptom scores and quality of life to see if this natural approach offers relief.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Essential oil blend (lavender and rosemary) applied topically
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, natural option to help manage bladder symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants. The effect may be no better than placebo, and essential oils can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.
