Ask the Expert: The What, the Why & the Management of Urinary Symptoms for PSP, CBD and MSA
Jun 20 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

While urinary symptoms are common with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), they often go under-reported and can be difficult for people who are diagnosed, and their family care partners to know how to manage. Dr. Kristy Borawski is a urologist with a specialization in neurogenic bladder at the CurePSP Center of Care at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In this webinar, she will discuss urinary symptoms with PSP, CBD and MSA and why those symptoms can arise. She will then concentrate on an overview of treatment options ranging from behavioral changes to surgical procedures. Dr. Borawski will use any remaining time to answer questions. 

This webinar will be recorded and will be available on our YouTube page following the event. We will email all registrants a link when it’s ready to view.
