Primary

MeasureTime frame
Significant improvement of lower urinary tract in women with MS within six months. The method used will be through the Variance Analysis test for repeated measures under p <0.05 and statistical power above 80%. After the pre and post intervention statistical analysis will be performed using SAS software (Statistical Analysis System). A program of this software, called fpower, will be used to determine the sample size. Establishing 5% alpha and 90% power. To compare initial measures between groups, the Mann-Whitney test will be used and ANOVA for repeated measures will be used to compare the results of the treatments according to the time and group.—
