Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise Training in Women with MS

A study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle exercise training (PFMT) on urinary incontinence and quality of life in women with multiple sclerosis (MS) using a health belief model. It included 46 participants in a randomized controlled design with no intervention in the control group, and planned follow-up at three months.
