“…This method can only be used in toilet-trained children [8], but collecting of urine samples in children is a time consuming and stressful process. Although a bladder stimulator had been shown to improve symptoms and decrease residual bladder volume in adults with multiple sclerosis in previous studies [9,18], Davies et al [10] found no effect on time to obtain a urine sample in precontinent children when a vibrating bladder stimulator was used. Moreover, the mean time to obtain a urine sample in these children was 1 h, meanwhile considerably long.…”

“…It is not suitable for newborns as they do not have a sphincter control. Herreros et al hypothesized that the use of some stimulation techniques [18] that facilitate emptying of the bladder in situations of bladder dysfunction could facilitate the collection of midstream urine samples in newborns, and developed a new non-invasive technique based on bladder stimulation and lumbar paravertebral massage maneuvers [12]. They reported that the new technique was safe, quick, and successful in collecting midstream CCU in newborns [12].…”

Bladder symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS) are common and distressing but also highly amenable to treatment. A meeting of stakeholders involved in patients' continence care, including neurologists, urologists, primary care, MS nurses and nursing groups was recently convened to formulate a UK consensus for management. National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) criteria were used for producing recommendations based on a review of the literature and expert opinion. It was agreed that in the majority of cases, successful management could be based on a simple algorithm which includes using reagent sticks to test for urine infection and measurement of the post micturition residual urine volume. This is in contrast with published guidelines from other countries which recommend cystometry. Throughout the course of their disease, patients should be offered appropriate management options for treatment of incontinence, the mainstay of which is antimuscarinic medications, in combination, if necessary, with clean intermittent self-catheterisation. The evidence for other measures, including physiotherapy, alternative strategies aimed at improving bladder emptying, other medications and detrusor injections of botulinum toxin A was reviewed. The management of urinary tract infections as well as the bladder problems as part of severe disability were discussed and recommendations agreed.

Lower abdominal pressure versus external bladder stimulation to aid bladder emptying in multiple sclerosis: a randomized controlled study

Abstract: Abdominal vibration is an effective method of reducing PVR in MS patients and appears more effective than abdominal pressure alone.
