This will need many more repetitions in many more patients to be able to deserve that claim, but still, awesome!

I'm just surprised they never tried this before

This is big time... the fact that the systems are still in place, even behind the disease means there's potential for treatment, recovery, and maybe even prevention some day.

I hope they get the ability to do a large scale study.

Yeah this part is pretty telling:

The persistence of urinary continence after more than 5 years of chronic incontinence is particularly notable, given that continence depends on integrated interoceptive awareness, executive inhibition, and fronto-insular network function.
