Could a prostate drug ease bladder troubles for women with MS?
NCT ID NCT07614321
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether silodosin, a drug typically used for enlarged prostate, can help women with multiple sclerosis who have bothersome urinary symptoms. Sixty female participants will take either silodosin or a placebo daily for 8 weeks. Researchers will use symptom questionnaires and urine flow tests to see if the drug provides relief.
