Using similar methodologies and outcome measures is crucial to allow pertinent literature reviews and meta-analyses. Therefore, this scoping review aims to compare methodologies of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessing the efficacy of third-line therapies to treat non-neurogenic OAB: intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA (BoNTA) injections, sacral neuromodulation (SNM) and posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS).

Discrepancies exist between patient-reported storage phase symptoms severity and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) scores. To investigate whether the Overactive Bladder questionnaire (OABq) can detect further storage phase lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) among patients complaining solely of voiding LUTS based on the IPSS questionnaire, and to address the real-life impact of voiding LUTS towards […]

Lower urinary tract symptoms are one of the most common groups of non-movement symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Storage symptoms are well-acknowledged, but neurogenic voiding dysfunction caused by PD remains a knowledge gap.

Evidence-based psychological strategies are being used as clinicians look for helpful interventions for patients diagnosed with the enigmatic chronic urological pelvic pain condition of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS).

Voiding dysfunction (VD) is a common neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Currently, the only effective management for VD and urinary retention in MS patients is catheterization, prompting us to look for novel therapeutic options beyond the bladder, such as the brain.

To obtain insight into the the use and costs of clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) in the Netherlands from 1997 to 2018. For this population-based study, data on the use and costs of disposable catheters were provided by the Drug Information Project database.

Although indwelling urinary catheters (IUCs) are used intraoperatively and may cause complications (e.g., delirium), only few robust studies have investigated the association between intraoperative IUC use and complications.

(UroToday.com) A web-based survey of women recruited through ResearchMatch, a national online registry, was performed using the newly developed Lower Urinary Tract Research Network-Symptom Index (LURN-SI-29) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQSF). Additional questions were included to understand typical exercise frequency, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) during physical activities, and adaptive behaviors.

(UroToday.com) The authors note that there is very little data on genitourinary habits of those engaged in gig work. Gig workers have limited access to restrooms, work in a business where profit is based on timely production, and this industry lacks consistent labor protections. The objective was to determine whether gig workers experience a self-reported change […]

(UroToday.com) Polyacrylamide Hydrogel (PAHG), Bulkamid®, is a non-particle-based urethral bulking agent that has demonstrated longer-term durability compared to other bulking agents. This study examined short-term outcomes of PAGH injection in an initial cohort, specifically looking at women with intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD), post mesh sling excision, and/or refractory stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
