Efficacy of behavioural training in treating symptoms of urinary urgency and urge urinary incontinence

This case report investigates the efficacy of bladder and behavioural training in the treatment of the symptoms of urinary urgency and urge urinary incontinence (UUI) in a 62-year-old woman who had recently undergone a surgical procedure involving tension-free vaginal tape (TVT). She was referred for physiotherapy 3 months after undergoing the operation, which, while successfully managing her stress urinary incontinence, had resulted in troublesome de novo urinary urgency and UUI. The assessment of the subject, her range of problems and treatment plan are described, and the evidence to support the intervention that was undertaken is examined. This study demonstrates that early assessment and behavioural treatment can benefit a patient with symptoms of urinary urgency and UUI.
