Burdensome #LUTS from Underactive bladder impair quality of life. Poor understanding of UAB mechanisms limit therapeutic options for these patients. As corresponding PI, I am pleased to share that @rosekhavari (Co-PI) and I @RachelHigh_DO were awarded a 5-year NIH/NIA R01 to assess Supraspinal Mechanisms Involved in Underactive Bladder with our key investigators @RRGonzalezMD , @jjkutch , @BetsySalazarPhD . this important study will redefine how we understand and ultimately treat this poorly understood syndrome .
