Changes in urodynamic patterns are common in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients over time. Regular urodynamic evaluations are recommended for symptomatic MS patients to manage neurogenic bladder dysfunction effectively.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Urology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease characterized by progressive changes in symptoms over time.
  • Voiding dysfunction is a prevalent complication in MS patients, significantly impacting their quality of life.
  • Limited research exists on the longitudinal changes in urodynamic patterns within the MS population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the frequency and characteristics of evolving urodynamic patterns in patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
  • To analyze changes in urodynamic findings over time in MS patients experiencing persistent or new lower urinary tract symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of urodynamic studies conducted over a 14-year period.
  • Inclusion of 22 patients with confirmed MS who underwent at least two urodynamic evaluations.

  • Comparison of sequential urodynamic test results to identify pattern alterations and changes in detrusor compliance.

    • Main Results:

    • Over half (55%) of the 22 MS patients exhibited changes in urodynamic patterns or detrusor compliance during a mean follow-up of 42 months.
    • Initial urodynamic patterns frequently included detrusor hyperreflexia, detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia, or detrusor hypocontractility.
    • Significant urodynamic changes were observed in both patients with and without new urologic symptoms, highlighting the dynamic nature of bladder dysfunction in MS.

    Conclusions:

    • A substantial number of MS patients develop altered urodynamic patterns and detrusor compliance, irrespective of new urinary symptoms.
    • Repeated urodynamic evaluations are crucial for optimizing the clinical management of neurogenic bladder dysfunction in symptomatic MS patients.
    • Regular monitoring aids in reducing complications and improving the self-management of bladder issues for individuals with MS.
