    Multiple sclerosis commonly leads to neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction, affecting up to 90% of patients with voiding dysfunction or incontinence.

  • 2

    The study utilized 7 T MRI to evaluate brain connectivity patterns during bladder states in female MS patients with voiding dysfunction.

  • 3

    Nine female MS patients participated, with specific criteria for voiding dysfunction based on post-void residual volume and uroflow data.

  • 4

    Functional connectivity was quantitatively compared across three bladder states: strong desire to void, voiding initiation, and continued voiding.

  • 5

    The study aimed to enhance understanding of brain activity related to bladder control without the discomfort of invasive procedures.
