Uro-Neurology (UCLH Queen Square, London)

Many neurological conditions can cause problems with bladder, bowel or sexual function. We offer a multidisciplinary approach to try and help people with such difficulties.

The clinical department is led by Professor Clare Fowler who specialises in clinical neurology of the bladder and sexual dysfunction. Her particular interests include severe detrusor overactivity due to neurological or non-neurological causes, bladder dysfunction in the context of advancing neurological disease and urinary retention in young women (Fowler’s syndrome).

Professor Fowler and the department have made several contributions to Uro-neurology including:

Established uro-neurology as a sub-speciality in UK.

Introduced several new treatments for severe detrusor overactivity. Most recently helped to establish detrusor injection of Botox to treat severe detrusor overactivity as a clinic procedure

Described eponymous syndrome of urinary retention in young women, researched pathophysiological mechanisms of condition and established treatment programme of sacral neuromodulation

Involved in many clinical trials, both “investigator lead” and commercial drug trials of new agents to treat detrusor overactivity or sexual dysfunction of both genders.

Neurogenic and idiopathic detrusor overactivity
