Summary

This study tested whether pelvic floor strengthening or relaxation exercises, done at home via video calls, could help women with multiple sclerosis who have bladder control problems. Twenty-four women were split into three groups: strengthening, relaxation, or both. They exercised three times a week for eight weeks. Researchers measured changes in bladder symptoms, mood, and quality of life using questionnaires and a voiding diary.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
pelvic floor exercises (strengthening and relaxation)
What this could lead to
If effective, these exercises could offer a non-drug way to ease bladder symptoms and improve quality of life for women with multiple sclerosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 24 participants. Results may not apply to all women with MS, and exercise adherence can vary.
