Abstract
Nabiximols is an approved add-on therapy for multiple sclerosis (MS)-related spasticity for patients non-responsive to common therapies. It is also more effective in treating bladder dysfunction with more moderate side effects compared with conventional drugs. We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with secondary progressive MS who was treated with nabiximols and who showed significant improvement in bladder complaints. This case focuses on the possibility of prescribing this treatment to patients with symptoms other than spasticity. In addition, it highlights the crucial role of bladder dysfunction improvement in controlling the physiopathological mechanisms related to urinary tract infections frequently reported by patients with MS
