Urinary Dysfunction in Myasthenic Syndromes: A Scoping Review of Clinical Features and Treatment‐Related Associations

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue S1, Page S97-S107, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Urinary dysfunction has been reported in association with myasthenic syndromes, including myasthenia gravis (MG), Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), and congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS), but evidence regarding its prevalence, clinical impact, pathophysiology, and management remains limited.

Risk factors, urodynamic characteristics, and distress associated with nocturnal enuresis in overactive bladder -wet women

Scientific Reports
Patients with overactive bladder syndrome-wet (OAB-wet) experience urgency urinary incontinence, particularly urinary frequency and nocturia. Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is less addressed among OAB-wet patients.

Sacral Neuromodulation in the Management of Refractory Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 45, Issue 7, Page 1366-1372, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sacral neuromodulation is currently used in the pediatric patient population for refractory lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). Evidence, however, is currently limited for institutional experiences of long‐term outcomes for sacral neuromodulation in the pediatric patient population.

Significance of a decrease in the proportion of detrusor muscle to bladder wall for non-invasive diagnosis of detrusor underactivity in men with lower urinary tract symptoms

Scientific Reports, 2022
To investigate the significance of detrusor muscle thickness (DMT) to bladder wall thickness (BWT) ratio as a detrusor-sarcopenia and a consistently applicable factor for noninvasive diagnosis of detrusor underactivity (DU).

Current pharmacological and surgical treatment of underactive bladder

Tzu Chi Medical Journal, 2017
Underactive bladder (UAB) or detrusor underactivity (DU) is a common yet still poorly understood urological problem. In addition to true detrusor failure and neuropathy, the inhibitory effects of detrusor contraction by the striated urethral sphincter ...

Underactive bladder - an underestimated entity

Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences, 2020
Introduction. The concept of underactive bladder is relatively new. Currently there is no generally accepted definition of this pathology. Diagnosis depends on urodynamic findings, and symptoms are usually rare and intricated with the symptoms of other ...

Which Patients With Dysfunctional Voiding Respond Well to Sacral Neuromodulation? ICI‐RS 2025

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 45, Issue 5, Page 937-944, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Dysfunctional voiding (DV) is characterised by fluctuating or intermittent urinary flow during voiding in neurologically normal individuals. Given the different definitions used and heterogeneous pathophysiologies, outcomes following sacral neuromodulation/sacral nerve stimulation (SNM/SNS) are variably reported.
