DIAGNOSIS OF OAB The clinician should engage in a diagnostic process to document symptoms and signs that characterize OAB and exclude other disorders that could be the cause of the patient s symptoms; the minimum requirements for this process are a careful history, physical exam, and urinalysis. OAB is not a disease; it is a symptom complex that generally is not a life-threatening condition. After assessment has been performed to exclude conditions requiring treatment and counseling, no treatment is an acceptable choice made by some patients and caregivers. Clinicians should provide education to patients regarding normal lower urinary tract function, what is known about OAB, the benefits vs. risks/burdens of the available treatment alternatives and the fact that acceptable symptom control may require trials of multiple therapeutic options before it is achieved.
Treatment of OAB
TREATMENT OF OAB First-Line Treatments: 1. Clinicians should offer behavioral therapies (e.g., bladder training, bladder control strategies, pelvic floor muscle training, fluid management) as first line therapy to all patients with OAB. 2. Behavioral therapies may be combined with pharmacologic management.
TREATMENT OF OAB Second-Line Treatments: 1. Clinicians should offer oral anti-muscarinics or oral ß3-adrenoceptor agonists as second-line therapy. 2. If an immediate release (IR) and an extended release (ER) formulation are available, then ER formulations should preferentially be prescribed over IR formulations because of lower rates of dry mouth. 3. Transdermal (TDS) oxybutynin (patch [now available to women ages 18 years and older without a prescription] or gel) may be offered.
TREATMENT OF OAB Second-Line Treatments: 4. If a patient experiences inadequate symptom control and/or unacceptable adverse drug events with one anti-muscarinic medication, then a dose modification or a different anti-muscarinic medication or b3-adrenoceptor agonist may be tried. 5. Clinicians should not use anti-muscarinics in patients with narrow angle glaucoma unless approved by the treating ophthalmologist and should use anti-muscarinics with extreme caution in patients with impaired gastric emptying or a history of urinary retention.
TREATMENT OF OAB Second-Line Treatments: 6. Clinicians should manage constipation and dry mouth before abandoning effective anti-muscarinic therapy. Management may include bowel management, fluid management, dose modification or alternative anti-muscarinics. 7. Clinicians must use caution in prescribing anti-muscarinics in patients who are using other medications with anti-cholinergic properties. 8. Clinicians should use caution in prescribing anti-muscarinics or ß3- adrenoceptor agonists in the frail OAB patient. 9. Patients who are refractory to behavioral and pharmacologic therapy should be evaluated by an appropriate specialist if they desire additional therapy.
TREATMENT OF OAB Third-Line Treatments: 1. Specialists may offer intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxina (100U) as third-line treatment in the carefully-selected and thoroughlycounseled patient who has been refractory to first- and second-line OAB treatments. The patient must be able and willing to return for frequent post-void residual evaluation and able and willing to perform self-catheterization if necessary. 2. Specialists may offer peripheral tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) as third line treatment in a carefully selected patient population.
TREATMENT OF OAB Third-Line Treatments: 3. Specialists may offer sacral neuromodulation (SNS) as third-line treatment in a carefully-selected patient population characterized by severe refractory OAB symptoms or patients who are not candidates for second-line therapy and are willing to undergo a surgical procedure. 4. Practitioners and patients should persist with new treatments for an adequate trial in order to determine whether the therapy is efficacious and tolerable.
TREATMENT OF OAB Additional Treatments: 1. Indwelling catheters (including transurethral, suprapubic, etc.) are not recommended as a management strategy for OAB because of the adverse risk/benefit balance except as a last resort in selected patients. 2. In rare cases, augmentation cystoplasty or urinary diversion for severe, refractory, complicated OAB patients may be considered.
TREATMENT OF OAB Treatments follow-up: Combination therapeutic approaches should be assembled methodically, with the addition of new therapies occurring only when the relative efficacy of the preceding therapy is known. Therapies that do not demonstrate efficacy after an adequate trial should be ceased. The clinician should offer follow up with the patient to assess compliance, efficacy, side effects, and possible alternative treatments.

Once daily mirabegron in a 50 or 100 mg dose is an effective treatment for overactive bladder symptoms with a low occurrence of side effects. Nitti VW, et al. Results of a randomized phase III trial of Mirabegron in patients with overactive bladder. J Urol. 2013;189(4):1388 95
The evidence described would suggest that mirabegron is not a cure for OAB, but is as efficacious as most antimuscarinics including tolterodine ER 4 mg compared with placebo regarding: objective measures such as reduction in number of voids per 24 hours, mean volume per void, mean number of episodes of general urinary incontinence, urgency urinary incontinence and urgency per 24 hours. subjective measures such as severity of urgency, PPBC, ICIQ-OAB and KHQ. It is important to note however that urgency, the pathognomonic symptom of OAB, was never the primary outcome measure. With regard to tolerability, the data would suggest that patients taking mirabegron suffer a similar rate of TEAEs as those taking placebo alone, whereas the rate in those on antimuscarinics is greater.
Mirabegron, the first and only licensed β3-ar agonist for the treatment of OAB, offers an efficacious and safe alternative to first-line treatment in adult patients poorly controlled with or intolerant to antimuscarinics. Future studies are required to provide more information regarding potential benefits of combined therapy with antimuscarinics or α-blockers and also longer term effects of β3- AR agonists.
LASER treatment on OAB WET - a flash in the pan or the real future?
This clinical evaluation of a new non-invasive Er:YAG laser treatment for stress and mixed urinary incontinence showed high efficacy in improvement of UI with no adverse effects noted. Patients discomfort during the treatment was minimal and satisfaction very high. For evaluation of the duration of the treatment effects, longer follow-ups are necessary and we are looking forward to seeing our patients at 12 and 24 months postop.
We included 175 women (aged 49.7 ± 10 years) with newly diagnosed SUI (66% of women) and MUI (34%), respectively. Patients were clinically examined and classified by incontinence types (SUI and MUI) and grades (mild, moderate, severe, and very severe) using International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire (ICIQ) and assessing Incontinence Severity Index (ISI). The results of our study, have shown that new non-invasive Er:YAG laser could be regarded as a promising additional treatment strategy for SUI with at least one year lasting positive effects. On the other hand, it does not seem appropriate for treating MUI.
