Abstract

Treating multiple sclerosis (MS)‐related adult neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (ANLUTD) is challenging because conservative treatments are often ineffective. Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a promising minimally invasive treatment of ANLUTD. This review assesses the efficacy and safety of SNM for MS‐related ANLUTD.
