Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Academic research project monitoring the effect of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) on multiple sclerosis-associated lower urinary tract symptoms.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

An observational study (academic research project) monitoring the effect of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) on lower urinary tract symptoms occurrence. The main goal is to observe the influence of this treatment modality on changes in the quality of life. Secondary endpoints are the changes in the urodynamic parameters and lower urinary tract occurrence. The investigators assume the inclusion of a minimum of 20 patients with AHSCT and 20 patients in the control group with other disease-modifying therapy (DMT).
