About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if silodosin works to treat lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in female patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). It will also learn about the effect of the drug on voiding parameters. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does silodosin improve lower urinary tract symptoms based on questionnaires? Does silodosin change Uroflowmetry parameters in female patients with MS? Researchers will compare silodosin to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if silodosin works to treat LUTS in female patients with MS.
Participants will:
Take silodosin or a placebo every day for 8 weeks Visit the clinic before initiating the medication and after 8 weeks of taking the medication for questionnaires and tests
