Published in Urologia Internationalis
Abstract
A 12-week single-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing bladder training, pelvic floor muscle training, and combined therapy in women with overactive bladder.
Methodology
Single-blinded RCT over 12 weeks comparing bladder training alone, pelvic floor muscle training alone, and combined therapy in women with OAB.
Key Findings
All three behavioral interventions improved OAB symptoms and quality of life; combined therapy produced greater symptom reduction than either intervention alone.
Conclusions
Behavioral therapies, particularly combined bladder and pelvic floor muscle training, are effective non-pharmacological options for managing OAB symptoms in women.
Limitations
Single-center study, single-blinded design, modest sample size, short follow-up duration.
