Effect of Motor Cortex Versus Sacral Magnetic Stimulation in Multiple Sclerosis Patients With Urinary Tract Dysfunction

February 14, 2018 updated by: May Maged Abdel-Salhin, Cairo University

Effect of Motor Cortex Magnetic Stimulation Versus Sacral Magnetic Stimulation in Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

This work is intended to assess the effect of repetitive magnetic stimulation on the sacral roots versus repetitive magnetic stimulation on motor cortex in multiple sclerosis patients with the lower urinary tract dysfunction.

Detailed Description

Twenty Multiple sclerosis patients with lower urinary tract symptoms will be receiving repetitive magnetic stimulation on sacral roots. Another twenty Multiple sclerosis patient with lower urinary tract symptoms will be receiving repetitive magnetic stimulation on motor cortex. Treatment outcome will be assessed and compared between the two groups.

Twenty trains of 50 stimuli at 5 Hz (train duration: 10 seconds) separated by a 40-second pause were delivered for a total of 1000 pulses (total duration: 16 minutes) once a day for four consecutive days for two weeks.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Sacral magnetic stimulation
Twenty trains of 50 stimuli at 5 Hz (train duration: 10 seconds) separated by a 40-second pause were delivered for a total of 1000 pulses, once a day for four consecutive days for two weeks, over sacral roots
Twenty trains of 50 stimuli at 5 Hz (train duration: 10 seconds) separated by a 40-second pause were delivered for a total of 1000 pulses, once a day for four consecutive days for two weeks
Active Comparator: Cortical magnetic stimulation
Twenty trains of 50 stimuli at 5 Hz (train duration: 10 seconds) separated by a 40-second pause were delivered for a total of 1000 pulses, once a day for four consecutive days for two weeks, over motor cortex

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline King's Health QoL questionnaire score after treatment
Time Frame: 1-7 days after treatment

questionnaire evaluates the impact of lower urinary tract symptoms on patient's quality of life.

High scores represent a worse quality of life, with no cut-off values.

1-7 days after treatment
Change from baseline Post-void residual urine after treatment
Time Frame: 1-7 days after treatment
Measured by ultrasound It is the volume of urine left in the bladder at the completion of micturition Measured in milliliters (mL)
1-7 days after treatment
Change from baseline Maximum Cystometric Capacity (MCC) after treatment
Time Frame: 1-7 days after treatment
Measured by urodynamic evaluation Measured in millimeters (mL) It is the volume at which the patient states that he/she can no longer delay micturition because of strong desire to void or urgency
1-7 days after treatment
Change from baseline Maximum Flow Rate (Qmax) after treatment
Time Frame: 1-7 days after treatment
Measured by urodynamic evaluation Measured in milliliters per second (mL/sec) It is the maximum measured value of the flow rate
1-7 days after treatment
Change from baseline Detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate (Pdet @Qmax) after treatment
Time Frame: 1-7 days after treatment
Measured by urodynamic evaluation Measured in centimeter water (cmH2O) It represents the effect of the active and/or passive forces generated by the detrusor muscle
1-7 days after treatment
