Incontinence Prevalence in Multiple Sclerosis
This review discussed how incontinence prevalence differs among neurological conditions, noting rates of 23.6% in stroke patients and over 50% in those with spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis (MS). Urodynamic studies can differentiate types of incontinence, which may inform treatment strategies.

Why it matters
Understanding the variability in incontinence rates among neurological disorders, including MS, can guide clinical management and resource allocation for affected patients.
What this does not prove
The review does not provide specific efficacy or safety data for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in MS patients, and the findings are not exclusive to MS alone.
Next milestone
No next milestone was established from the available source.
