We tested the effects of 5-Hz rTMS over the motor cortex in multiple sclerosis (MS) subjects
complaining of lower urinary tract symptoms either in the filling or voiding phase. Our data
show that motor cortex stimulation for five consecutive days over two weeks ameliorates the
voiding phase of the micturition cycle, suggesting that enhancing corticospinal tract
excitability might be useful to ameliorate detrusor contraction and/or urethral sphincter
relaxation in MS patients with bladder dysfunction. Multiple Sclerosis 2007; 13: 269–271 …
