New study probes hidden link between MS and bladder control
NCT ID NCT07489794
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why some women with multiple sclerosis have trouble controlling their bladder. Researchers will measure pelvic floor muscle activity and ask about quality of life, fatigue, and physical activity. The goal is to better understand the problem, not to test a new treatment. About 47 women aged 30-50 with MS and urinary incontinence will take part.
