Altered Periaqueductal Gray Functional Connectivity in Overactive Bladder Patients: A Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study Using Clustering Analysis
These findings indicate altered PAG signaling and differences in sensory processing among OAB patients. The absence of dynamic PAG reorganization may contribute to OAB pathophysiology, offering new insight into its neural mechanisms.
