Abstract

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and incontinence are highly prevalent among multiple sclerosis (MS ) patients and are strongly related to the duration, progress and severity of the neurological condition. Mixed LUTS are common, with a higher prevalence of detrusor overactivity (DO) in urodynamic investigations. Interestingly, upper urinary tract damage is infrequent in MS patients. Despite the negative effect on QoL, the majority of MS patients do not consult a urologist. Available treatments are similar as in non-neurogenic LUTS, albeit with a lower level of evidence apart from intradetrusor injections of botulinum neurotoxin A. Lifestyle interventions with or without antimuscarinics and clean intermittent catheterizations are the mainstay of management, but with significant rates of discontinuation. Invasive surgery (enterocystoplasty, urinary diversion procedures) is spared for refractory cases and those patients with upper extremity dexterity issues.

Similarly, LUTS are common in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, with nocturia being the most prevalent symptom and DO the most common urodynamic observation, followed by detrusor underactivity and bladder outlet obstruction. Antimuscarinics are the mainstay of medical treatment for storage LUTS in PD patients, while sparse data exist on the use of alpha-blockers. Surgical treatment of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is no longer a contraindication in PD patients so long as multiple system atrophy is excluded. Minimally invasive treatments, such as botulinum-A toxin bladder injections, percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation and deep brain stimulation, are considered in cases of refractory symptoms. Manipulation of the gut and urinary microbiota might play a role in the therapeutic management of both PD and associated LUTS in the future.
