Study of Bladder-sphincter Symptoms in Functional Neurological Disorders

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Urinary Bladder Sphincter Disorder

In brief

A significant proportion of patients with functional neurological disorders (FND) report urinary, anorectal or genitosexual disorders. However, until now, no study has focused on bladder-sphincter disorders in patients with FND. The symptoms of this pathology are, therefore, not precisely characterized. Thus, the objective of this research is to specify if urinary, anorectal or sexual disorders can be observed in patients suffering from functional neurological disorders and to better describe them in order to propose better therapeutic options.
