Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the prevalence of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB), severity of symptoms, and quality of life in affected patients. METHODS We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study of 1351 consecutive patients who were recruited between June 2021 and May 2022. Patients were divided according to BMI (normal: <25.0, overweight: 25-29.9, obese: ≥30) and menopausal status. The latter were divided according to the presence or absence of urinary incontinence in the normal, wet-OAB and dry-OAB groups. A validated questionnaire, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire in Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB), in the English and Arabic languages was used. RESULTS A total of 1351 patients were included. For women who were overweight, there was a greater prevalence of dry-OAB (p = 0.02), However, the prevalence of both dry and wet-OAB were higher in obese women (p < 0.00001). Compared to women with a normal BMI, women who were overweight or obese had a greater likelihood of developing abnormal daytime urine frequency and nocturia, with p values ≤ 0.01. The ORs of overweight and obese women were 3.1 and 5.3, respectively, for experiencing wet OAB in comparison to women with a normal BMI. Additionally, the odds of developing severe OAB in overweight and obese women were 5.8 and 18.6, respectively, which negatively affects their quality of life (QoL). CONCLUSION The risk of developing OAB symptomatology is significantly greater in overweight and obese patients. As BMI increases, the symptomatology, perceived discomfort and QoL of patients with OAB worsen.

Multicomponent Intervention for Overactive Bladder in Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Netw Open 2024; 7:e241784. [PMID: 38477920 PMCID: PMC10938174 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.1784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Importance Although the cognitive components of behavioral therapy for overactive bladder (OAB) are widely recognized, there is a lack of studies evaluating the effectiveness of multicomponent interventions that include cognitive components as a treatment for OAB. Objective To examine the efficacy of a multicomponent intervention in improving health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for women with moderate to severe OAB. Design, Setting, and Participants This multicenter, open-label, randomized clinical trial was conducted in Japan among women aged 20 to 80 years who had moderate to severe OAB. Participants were recruited from 4 institutions between January 16, 2020, and December 31, 2022, through self-referral via advertisement or referral from the participating institutions. Interventions Participants were randomized 1:1 by minimization algorithm using an internet-based central cloud system to four 30-minute weekly sessions of a multicomponent intervention or waiting list. Both groups continued to receive baseline treatment throughout the study period. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was the least-squares mean changes from baseline through week 13 in HRQOL total scores of the OAB questionnaire between 2 groups. Secondary outcomes included OAB symptom score and frequency volume chart. Results A total of 79 women were randomized to either the intervention group (39 participants; mean [SD] age, 63.5 [14.6] years) or the waiting list control group (40 participants; mean [SD] age, 63.5 [12.9] years). One participant from each group dropped out from the allocated intervention, while 5 participants in the intervention group and 2 in the control group dropped out from the primary outcome assessment at week 13. Thirty-six participants (92.3%) in the intervention group and 35 (87.5%) in the control group had moderate OAB. The change in HRQOL total score from baseline to week 13 was 23.9 points (95% CI, 18.4-29.5 points) in the intervention group and 11.3 points (95% CI, 6.2-16.4 points) in the waiting list group, a significant difference of 12.6 points (95% CI, 6.6-18.6 points; P < .001). Similar superiority of the intervention was confirmed for frequency of micturition and urgency but not for OAB symptom score. Conclusions and Relevance These findings demonstrate that a multicomponent intervention improves HRQOL for women with moderate to severe OAB and suggest that the cognitive component may be an effective treatment option for women with OAB.

Ther Adv Chronic Dis 2022; 13:20406223211063059. [PMID: 35321402 PMCID: PMC8935404 DOI: 10.1177/20406223211063059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To determine the effects of nonsurgical, minimally or noninvasive therapies on urge urinary incontinence (UUI) symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in individuals with neurogenic bladder (NGB). Data Sources: Cochrane library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PEDro, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to September 2021. Review Methods: Randomized controlled trials that compared therapies such as intravaginal electrical stimulation (IVES), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS), pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), and behavioural therapy (BT) to control were included. Study screening, data extraction, and study quality assessments were performed by two independent authors. Results: Fourteen trials with 804 participants were included in the study after screening of 4281 potentially relevant articles. Meta-analyses revealed a significant effect of electrical stimulation on UUI due to multiple sclerosis (standardized mean difference (SMD): −0.614; 95% confidence interval (CI): −1.023, −0.206; p = 0.003) and stroke (SMD: −2.639; 95% CI: −3.804, −1.474; p = 0.000). The pooled analyses of TTNS (weighted mean difference (WMD): −12.406; 95% CI: −16.015, −8.797; p = 0.000) and BT (WMD: −9.117; 95% CI: −14.746, −3.487; p = 0.002) revealed significant effects of these interventions on QoL in people with Parkinson’s disease. However, meta-analyses revealed nonsignificant effects for PFMT (WMD: −0.751; 95% CI: −2.426, 0.924; p = 0.380) and BT (WMD: −0.597; 95% CI: −1.278, 0.083; p = 0.085) on UUI due to Parkinson’s disease. Conclusions: Our meta-analyses found electrical stimulation to be beneficial for improving the symptoms of UUI among people with multiple sclerosis and those with stroke. Our review also revealed that TTNS and BT might improve QoL for people with NGB due to Parkinson’s disease, although the effects of PFMT and BT on UUI warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Abstract Introduction: Behavioral therapy (BT) is an association of techniques that aim to minimize or abolish urinary symptoms, including urinary incontinence (UI), through education about the health condition, changes in lifestyle and nutritional habits, and bladder training. Objective: To analyze whether there is a change in the quality of life and severity of UI after group behavioral therapy in women with UI. Methods: Prospective observational study conducted in a pelvic physical therapy public service. Women with UI of any etiology, over 18 years of age, who completed a protocol of four weekly group BT meetings as the first treatment option for UI were included. Outcomes (impact of UI on QoL and classification of UI severity) were assessed before, immediately after, and one month after BT using the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) and the Incontinence Severity Index (ISI). Results: Sample of 146 participants. A reduction in the impact of UI on QoL was observed in the KHQ domains: impact of UI, physical limitations, personal relationships, emotions, general health perception (p < 0.05) immediately after BT. After one month, there was a reduction in the UI impact domains, daily activity limitations, physical limitations, general health perception, emotions, and sleep (p < 0.05). In addition, there was a reduction in the classification of UI severity assessed by the ISI (p < 0.001). Conclusion: There was an improvement in QoL and a decrease in UI severity in women with UI who completed a BT group as the first treatment option.

Abstract
Resumo Introdução: A terapia comportamental (TC) é uma associação de técnicas que visam minimizar ou abolir sintomas urinários, incluindo a incontinência urinária (IU), por meio da educação sobre a condição de saúde, mudanças em hábitos de vida e alimentares e treinamento vesical. Objetivo: Analisar se existe alteração da qualidade de vida e da gravidade da IU após terapia comportamental em grupo de mulheres com IU. Métodos: Estudo observacional prospectivo realizado em um serviço público de fisioterapia pélvica. Mulheres com IU de qualquer etiologia e maiores de 18 anos foram submetidas a um protocolo de quatro encontros de TC em grupo, semanalmente, como primeira opção de tratamento para IU. Os desfechos, impacto da IU na qualidade de vida (QV) e classificação da gravidade da IU foram avaliados antes, imediatamente após e um mês depois da TC pelos questionários King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) e Incontinence Severity Index (ISI). Resultados: Amostra de 146 participantes. Observou-se redução do impacto da IU na QV nos domínios do KHQ: impacto da IU, limitações físicas, relações pessoais, emoções, percepção geral de saúde (p < 0,05) imediatamente após a TC. Após um mês, observou-se redução nos domínios de impacto da IU nas limitações de atividades diárias, limitações físicas, percepção geral de saúde, emoções e sono (p < 0,05), além da redução na classificação de gravidade da IU avaliada pelo ISI (p < 0,001). Conclusão: Houve melhora da QV e diminuição da gravidade da IU em mulheres com IU submetidas à TC em grupo como primeira opção de tratamento.
