About this study

Official title: Checklist to Increase Effectiveness of Behavioural Therapy for Overactive Bladder

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of this newly-established checklist for overactive bladder (OAB) and whether determinate to adherence and persistence rate of combination of behavioural therapy and anticholinergic medications in patients with OAB.

Read the detailed description

Overactive bladder (OAB) can worsen quality of life but it is not life-threatening condition. Although OAB medications effectively decrease disturbing symptoms of OAB, there are a lot of adverse side effects such as dry mouth, cognitive changes, constipation, urinary retention, blurred vision and dyspepsia. Therefore, guidelines have firstly recommended behavioural therapy which are noninvasive and not linked with adverse side effects. These behavioural recommendations include an advice on fluid balance, bladder retraining, urgency suppression or normal voiding techniques, pelvic floor muscle training, caffeine reduction, dietary changes, weight loss and other life style changes to improve lower urinary tract symptoms of OAB.

Educational leaflets, verbal or audio-visual instructions and trainings for behavioural therapy have been recommended for patients with OAB, however, to date these beneficial instructions have not been documented as a written checklist. Therefore, they were collected and developed as a written checklist to instruct the patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of this newly-established checklist for OAB and whether determinate to adherence and persistence rate of combination of behavioural therapy and anticholinergic medications in patients with OAB.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Urinary frequency

    >8 micturitions per day

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Urgency

    >6 urgency episodes per day

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Treatment Benefit Scale

    Treatment Benefit Scale is consisted of four category including a score of 1 (greatly improved) or 2 (improved) is considered ''yes,'' and a score of 3 (not changed)or 4 (worsened) was considered ''no''

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Urgency urinary incontinence

    >3 urgency urinary incontinence episodes per day

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Nocturia

    >1 micturition at night

    Measured: 6 months
