Abstract
An intravesical method of treating dysfunctional bladder syndromes by Electromotive Drug Administration (EMDA) of local anaesthetic drugs, anti muscarinic drugs and sympathomimetic agents. The administration of said drugs combined with hydraulic bladder dilatation causes relaxation of the detrusor muscle, reversing the hypertonicity associated with dysfunctional bladder syndromes.
