Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition characterized by urgency with or without urgency incontinence (UI), usually with increased daytime frequency and nocturia, which affects even 8-14% of adult population. The gold standards of OAB treatment are antimuscarinics, although this clinical entity is often poorly controlled with these agents. Thus, a progress in OAB pharmacotherapy is expected and...

Bladder storage symptoms have a severe impact on many areas as regards the quality of life including health-related, social, psychological and working functions. Pharmacotherapy of lower urinary tract stores (LUTS) has been developed to optimize neural control of the lower urinary tract in pathologic states. The bladder can be overactive or underactive. Overactive bladder (OAB) is highly preval...

Fesoterodine extended-release (brand name Toviaz) is a new competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist labeled for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB). Here we have undertaken a substantial update to a systematic review evaluating the effects of fesoterodine in the treatment of OAB. Our results indicate that fesoterodine was found to have significant improvements in the management of OAB s...

PURPOSE Metabolic syndrome and obesity have been advocated to be risk factors for the development of overactive bladder (OAB). Additionally, insulin resistance is the underlying mechanism of metabolic syndrome. We aimed to investigate the association of insulin resistance with overactive bladder in female patients. METHODS We prospectively conducted the study in our urology department. Female...

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a syndrome involving urinary urgency with accompanying increased daytime urinary frequency and nocturia, with or without urgency urinary incontinence, in the absence of an urinary tract infection or other obvious pathology. The detailed OAB pathophysiology remains unclear. There is evidence that OAB pathogenesis also includes abnormal bladder paracrine activity, asso...

The overactive bladder (OAB) is characterized by symptoms of frequency, urgency, nocturia, and urge incontinence, substantially affecting the quality of life of millions of people throughout the world. Diagnosis of OAB made on patient history, physical examination, and clinical tests can be used as the basis for treatment in most cases. In cases where there is uncertainty regarding the diagnosi...

Abstract Background Overactive bladder (OAB) is a health burden that needs an Arabic assessment tool. The idea to validate the version of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-overactive (ICIQ-OAB). Methods A multicenter cross-sectional study carried out between March 2019 and February 2020. translated ICIQ-OAB was used assess 227 patients. enrolled patients were 112 complain...

Transcutaneous posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TTNS) available with minimum invasion at lower cost. Urodynamic tests are invasive will be more difficult for children to perform than adults. present study u...

OBJECTIVE To verify the hypothesis that a connection exists between overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome and a bladder-specific dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). METHOD An electrocardiogram recorded heartbeat cycles from the onset of urinary urgency to 5 minutes after voiding in 33 women with an overactive bladder and 176 controls. Power spectral density (PSD) analysis allowed t...
