Brief Summary

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

The study aimed to explore the link between urinary incontinence (UI) severity in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), electromyography (EMG) findings, and other relevant factors.

Detailed Description

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

The study will consist of a cross-sectional observational analysis involving a cohort of 47 PwMS. The assessment will be employed various instruments, including the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score (NBSS), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), EMG.
