Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between nocturia and constipation in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Constipation has recently been recognized as an important symptom in patients with UC. Although nocturia has been associated with constipation in the general population, the association between nocturia and constipation in UC patients is uncertain. METHODS Consecutive series of 290 Japanese patients with UC, Information on constipation, nocturia, and lifestyle habits was obtained using self-administered questionnaires. The definition of constipation was based on Rome I criteria and/or current medication for constipation. Patients were divided into three groups based on nighttime urination: (1) no nocturia, (2) mild nocturia (nocturnal urination - one), and (3) serious nocturia (nocturnal urination - two or more). Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between nocturia and constipation. RESULTS Among all of the UC patients, the prevalence of mild nocturia, serious nocturia, and constipation was 35.2%, 26.9%, and 12.4%, respectively. The prevalence of constipation in the none, mild, and serious nocturia groups was 8.2%, 10.8%, and 20.5%, respectively. After adjustment for confounders such as age, sex, current drinking, current smoking, body mass index, and steroid use, nocturia severity was independently and positively associated with constipation (adjusted odds ratio for mild nocturia: 1.55 [95% confidence interval: 0.57-4.28], serious nocturia: 3.19 [95% confidence interval: 1.09-9.81], P for trend=.035). CONCLUSION The severity of nocturia is positively associated with constipation, and physicians should consider the interrelationships between nocturia and constipation in managing UC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a cross-sectional study to investigate the relationship between nighttime urinary frequency and sleep problems in Japanese adolescents. METHODS A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among 1757 adolescents (mean age 15.6 ± 1.1 years; 49.0% boys). The survey assessed sleep problems (sleep duration, sleep quality, and insomnia symptoms), nighttime urinary frequency, eating habits (breakfast, late-night eating, energy drink consumption), problematic internet use, engagement in club activities, and mental health. We analyzed the association between nighttime urinary frequency and sleep problems using descriptive statistics and logistic regression models. RESULTS The response rate was 99.6% (1699 students). The prevalence of nighttime urinary frequency ≥2 was 5.6% in boys and 4.6% in girls. The prevalence rates of sleep problems were: insomnia, 16.4%; difficulty initiating sleep, 11.8%; difficulty maintaining sleep, 5.9%; early-morning awakening, 5.4%; and poor sleep quality, 19.9%. Analysis of the relationship with sleep problems differentiating between zero, one, and two nighttime urinations showed that an increase in nighttime urinary frequency corresponded to an increase in the prevalence of insomnia, difficulty initiating sleep, and difficulty maintaining sleep. Logistic regression analysis also showed that insomnia, difficulty initiating sleep, and difficulty maintaining sleep had a linear, significant relationship with increased nighttime urinary frequency. CONCLUSION This study suggests that adolescents with high nighttime urinary frequency experience increased sleep problems. Consideration of urinary frequency is required when tackling adolescent sleep problems.

Abstract
Introduction: Desmopressin was widely used to treat nocturnal polyuria in adults under the age of 65 due to the well-established risk of hyponatremia. Since the prevalence of nocturia increases with age, and with an aging population, those most affected were excluded from treatment. Recently, a new lower dose sublingual tablet formulation that optimizes the balance between efficacy and tolerability has been licensed for symptomatic treatment of nocturia due to idiopathic nocturnal polyuria in adults of any age, with the caveat of regular serum monitoring for those over 65. This newer formulation aims to achieve the same clinical outcomes as previous formulations while reducing the risk of hyponatremia.Areas covered: This review will look at the pharmacology of the newly formulated desmopressin and examine the results of the clinical trials that would support its treatment of adult nocturia with idiopathic nocturnal polyuria.Expert opinion: When reporting on the clinical efficacy of desmopressin on nocturia, it is important for clinical trials to publish their complete data on nocturnal and 24-hour urine voided volumes. Further research examining the physiological reasoning behind this gender-specific dosing for desmopressin and the optimal recommended treatment duration of desmopressin for those over 65 is needed.

Abstract
The present article is an abridged English translation of the Japanese Clinical Guidelines for Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (second edition), published in September 2019. These guidelines consist of a total of 212 pages and are unique worldwide in that they cover female lower urinary tract symptoms other than urinary incontinence. They contain two algorithms for "primary treatment" and "specialized treatment," respectively. These guidelines, consisting of six chapters, address a total of 26 clinical questions including: (i) treatment algorithms; (ii) what are female lower urinary tract symptoms?; (iii) epidemiology and quality of life; (iv) pathology and illness; (v) diagnosis; and (vi) treatment. When the patient's symptoms mainly involve voiding and post-micturition symptoms, specialized treatment should be considered. In the event of voiding symptoms concurrent with storage symptoms, residual urine should be measured; if the residual urine volume is <100 mL, then diagnosis and treatment for storage symptoms is prioritized, and if the volume is ≥100 mL, then specialized treatment should be considered. When storage symptoms are the primary condition, then the patient is subject to the primary treatment algorithm. Specialized treatment for refractory overactive bladder includes botulinum toxin injection and sacral nerve stimulation. For stress urinary incontinence, surgical treatment is indicated, such as urethral slings. The two causes of voiding symptoms and post-micturition symptoms are lower urinary tract obstruction and detrusor underactivity (underactive bladder). Mechanical lower urinary tract obstruction, such as pelvic organ prolapse, is expected to improve with surgery.

The impact of sacrospinous ligament fixation on pre-existing nocturia and co-existing pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms. Int Urogynecol J 2020; 32:919-928.

Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis To evaluate whether nocturia and coexisting pelvic floor symptoms in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can be improved by ligamentous fixation of apical vaginal prolapse to the sacrospinous ligament. Methods We evaluated the PROPEL study data from 281 women with pelvic organ prolapse stage > 2. Bothersome nocturia and coexisting pelvic floor symptoms were assessed with the Pelvic Floor Disorder Inventory (PFDI) questionnaire preoperatively and at 6, 12 and 24 months after successful vaginal prolapse repair. Women with successful reconstruction (POP-Q stage < 1 at all compartments throughout the 2-year follow-up), defined as anatomical “responders,” were compared to the anatomical “non-responders.” Results Among the patients completing all PFDI questions (N = 277), anatomical responders and non-responders were the groups of interest for our analysis. We found the occurrence rates of “moderate” or “quite a bit” of nocturia was significantly reduced after surgery in all subgroups (48.7% at baseline vs. 19.5% after 24 months). The occurrence of nocturia was halved for responders compared to non-responders (45.4% and 48.3% at baseline vs. 14% and 29.5% after 24 months). Anatomical non-responders still had a relevant improvement of POP-Q stages, especially in the apical compartment. Prevalence rates of co-existing over- and underactive bladder, fecal incontinence, defecation disorders and pain symptoms were also significantly reduced postoperatively. Conclusion Nocturia can be associated with symptomatic POP, with improvements seen following vaginal ligamentous prolapse repair. We caution providers, however, when advising patients of the possible resolution of nocturia following POP reconstruction, that all other traditional etiologies of nocturia must first be ruled out.

What Is the Most Effective Treatment for Nocturia or Nocturnal Incontinence in Adult Women? Eur Urol Focus 2020; 7:453-463.

Abstract
CONTEXT Nocturia is a prevalent symptom with varied aetiology and no consensus on treatment options. OBJECTIVE We systematically reviewed evidence comparing the benefits and harms of various treatment options for nocturia or nocturnal incontinence in women. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Literature search was performed using Embase, Medline, and Cochrane databases (from 1 January 1946 to 26 September 2017), following the methods detailed in the Cochrane Handbook. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO. Certainty of evidence was assessed with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS The literature search identified 3573 citations, of which 11 full-text articles were included. Three studies on desmopressin and four on antimuscarinics provided evidence of improving nocturia symptoms. Four studies on behavioural treatment provided limited evidence and controversial results. One study on oestrogen did not prove the benefit of any mode of administration, and one small study on functional magnetic stimulation provided some evidence of effectiveness in nocturia. One randomised controlled trial (RCT; 141 participants) reported a statistically significant difference between the desmopressin and placebo groups (desmopressin patients experienced 0.75 [95% confidence interval {CI} 0.47-1.03] nocturia episodes less than those experience by the placebo group; certainty of evidence = low). The only RCT on antimuscarinics in women with nocturia reported that oxybutynin reduced the number of nocturia episodes by 0.3 (95% CI -0.02 to 0.62) versus placebo. In one RCT comparing tolterodine with the combination of tolterodine with behavioural therapy, there was significant change from baseline nocturnal incontinence episodes in both groups. CONCLUSIONS There is some evidence that desmopressin and antimuscarinics are effective treatment options for nocturia; however, there is very limited evidence for other treatment options. The findings should be interpreted with caution as there were some methodological flaws in the included studies, particularly outcome heterogeneity. PATIENT SUMMARY This review identified several medical treatments for nocturia in women, such as desmopressin and antimuscarinics, which appear to improve the severity of the condition.

Abstract
We compared changes in nocturia and sleep-related parameters between daytime and nighttime solifenacin dosing in patents with overactive bladder (OAB) and nocturia. We comparatively analyzed the data of a 12-week prospective, open-label, multicenter, randomized study. All 127 patients who presented to 5 centers in Korea for the treatment of OAB with nocturia between January 2011 and December 2013 were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into 2 groups by medication timing: group 1, daytime (n = 62); and group 2, nighttime (n = 65). The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), and Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) were used to assess OAB symptoms and sleep quality. We evaluated the parameter changes before and 12 weeks after daytime or nighttime solifenacin administration. Baseline data, which included sex, age, body mass index (BMI), total AIS, IPSS, and OABSS, did not differ between the 2 groups. Total IPSS, OABSS, and total AIS significantly improved after solifenacin administration regardless of timing (P < 0.001). After solifenacin administration, the number of nocturia episodes decreased in the group 1 and 2 (P < 0.001). There were no significant intergroup differences in changes in AIS, IPSS, OABSS, and number of nocturia episodes 12 weeks after solifenacin administration. Treating OAB with solifenacin may improve nocturia and sleep quality, but advantages did not differ significantly by medication timing.

Abstract
Desmopressin has been used for many years in the treatment of diabetes insipidus, nocturnal enuresis (involuntary urination while asleep) and nocturia associated with multiple sclerosis (in adults aged up to 65 years); it has also been recommended in certain circumstances for the treatment of nocturia in men and women (previously, an unlicensed use).1,2 Recently, a new brand of desmopressin sublingual tablet (lyophilisate-an orally disintegrating tablet; Noqdirna-Ferring) has been licensed for use in adults of any age for the treatment of nocturia due to idiopathic nocturnal polyuria.3,4 The tablets contain a lower dose of desmopressin than was previously available. Unusually, there are different recommended doses for men and women. In this article, we consider the evidence on desmopressin in the treatment of idiopathic nocturnal polyuria in adults, and how this new formulation fits with current management strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Search processing algorithms in a primary care setting, analyzing the specifics of care management for seniors suffering from urinary incontinence (UI), described the recommendations and levels of evidence of treatment. METHODS A literature review carried out via PubMed® and websites of scientific societies with search keywords classified according to an algorithm. RESULTS One hundred algorithms have been discovered in the field of evaluation and treatment of UI. Screening for UI risk factors began early on in the treatment of reversible or chronic comorbidities, avoiding iatrogenic. Specific clinical features (red flags) required specialized advice. Non-pharmacological conservative treatment should be offered first in line for seniors: behavioral therapy, changes in lifestyle, walk, treatment of constipation. For women, pelvic floor muscle training combined biofeedback and functional electrical stimulation. After failure and persistence of UI with urgency, the information of the risk of a possible urinary retention or cognitive impairments preceded the prescription of an anticholinergic and the measurement of post-voiding residue done by ultrasounds. Older age is not a cons-indication for surgery UI least invasive. The cough test and Bonney maneuver can confirm a masked stress urinary incontinence and/or an associated prolapse. Cases of failure of UI, doubtful diagnosis or programmed surgery required urodynamic assessment. CONCLUSION Algorithms and recommendations of UI should remain a valuable aid to the clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment of UI in the elderly.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We assessed the prevalence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and characteristics among patients who visited a urology clinic complaining of nocturia (URO group) and those who visited a sleep apnea (SA) clinic complaining of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) (SA group). Additionally, we evaluated the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in the URO group patients with nocturia and SDB resistant to conventional therapy for nocturia. METHODS Questionnaires were used to assess EDS, nocturia and lower urinary tract symptoms in 34 URO group patients and 49 age-matched SA group patients. We also compared these factors in the male patients in both groups and the male and female patients in the SA group. Significant SDB was diagnosed as a 3% oxygen desaturation index (3%ODI) on pulse oximeter of >5/h. The treatment response was analyzed in six URO group patients treated with CPAP after not responding to the conventional medical treatment. RESULTS SDB was found in 91.8% of the SA group patients and 70.6% of the URO group patients. The level of EDS and lower urinary tract symptoms were similar in both groups. The SA group showed higher 3%ODI values, while the frequency of urination during bedtime was higher in the URO group. The frequency of nocturnal urination was reduced after CPAP in the subjects resistant to conventional therapy. CONCLUSION SDB is as prevalent in patients who visit a urology clinic complaining of nocturia as in those who visit a sleep apnea clinic. Patients who complains of nocturia must be assessed for SDB before starting therapy for nocturia.

Abstract
Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) is characterized by polyuria and polydipsia due to a deficiency of vasopressin. Currently, the treatment goal for CDI is improvement of quality of life (QOL) by desmopressin (DDAVP) without developing hyponatremia. However, there is no reliable measure for QOL in CDI patients. We evaluate our original questionnaire for QOL, consisting of 12 questions focusing on polyuria, polydipsia, and DDAVP treatment, in CDI patients who underwent a switch from nasal spray to oral disintegrating tablets of DDAVP. Twenty-five CDI patients under nasal DDAVP treatment, six with newly developed CDI, and 18 healthy individuals without known polyuric/polydipsic disorders as control subjects were enrolled. QOL scores were determined by our questionnaire at the enrollment and 3 months after the start of oral DDAVP treatment and were examined by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Eleven questions detected improvement in QOL. The sum of the QOL scores of the eleven questions increased from 29.2 ± 5.6 under nasal to 36.8 ± 4.5 under oral DDAVP (p < 0.001). There were no clinically relevant changes in serum levels of Na. After eliminating two questions about DDAVP treatment, the sum of QOL scores was 15.3 ± 6.5 in untreated CDI patients, 24.4 ± 5.2 in those with nasal treatment, 28.9 ± 4.9 in those with oral DDAVP, and 29.5 ± 3.6 in healthy controls. The difference among groups was significant (p < 0.05 in Steel-Dwass test) except between patients treated with oral DDAVP and healthy controls. Our questionnaire can be used to accurately assess QOL in CDI patients.

Abstract
Nocturia is the most bothersome lower urinary tract symptom. It has a multifactorial etiology. It had been thought nocturia was a nonspecific symptom of lower urinary system dysfunction, but it has been determined that many diseases, related to different organ systems, might be reasons for this nonspecific symptom. Along with the importance of systemic diseases that cause nocturia, the symptom itself has adverse effects on patients’ health and quality of life. There are several studies reporting a direct relationship between nocturia and depression, cognitive dysfunction, mood disturbances, falls, and fractures. For this reason, it is important to treat nocturia both to increase quality of life and to decrease related complications. Treatment opportunities have been under investigation for 20 years. Most of the studies in the literature have reported the results of single-drug medication on nocturia, which may be insufficient for a situation that has such a multifactorial etiology. In this review, we evaluated the success of different treatment combinations on nocturia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether anticholinergic medication contributes to early recovery of continence and improvement of other voiding symptoms after radical prostatectomy (RP). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 78 patients with clinically localized prostate cancer who had incontinence at 1 week after RP were enrolled prospectively. The patients were allocated to one of the 2 groups: group 1 (α-adrenergic agonist [midodrine] plus an anticholinergic [solifenacin]) or group 2 (α-adrenergic agonist only). A urodynamic study and the International Continence Society male Short Form questionnaire were completed preoperatively and 4 months after RP. One-hour pad test and 3-day frequency volume chart at 1 and 4 months after medication were also analyzed. RESULTS The rate of continence, defined as being pad free, did not differ between the groups at 4 months (both 71.8%; P >.05). However, the decreased value of mean weight of daily pads worn by groups 1 and 2 were 51.5 vs 11.7 g, respectively (P = .005). The incontinence (P = .008) and quality of life (P = .044) subscale scores significantly worsened in group 2, whereas they remained unchanged in group 1. Maximal detrusor pressure and maximal urethral closure pressure significantly decreased in both groups, whereas maximal cystometric capacity increased significantly in group 1 only (290.8-332.0 cm H2O; P <.001). CONCLUSION Anticholinergics may facilitate early recovery from incontinence and prevent worsening of quality of life, which might be attributed to increased cystometric capacity after their use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nocturia is defined as waking one or more times during the night due to the urge to void. Recently, the effectiveness of several sedatives and analgesics for nocturia has been reported. We herein investigated the effects of ramelteon, an antioxidant and sleep inducer, on nocturia unresponsive to α1-blocker monotherapy in males with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) as a pilot study. METHODS Subjects were 19 patients who had LUTS suggestive of benign prostate hyperplasia, received α1-blockers (tamsulosin, silodosin, or naftopidil), and continued to have two or more episodes of nocturia per night before starting ramelteon. Ramelteon at 8 mg once daily for one month was added to the α1-blocker. A self-administered questionnaire including the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QoL) index, Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), and Nocturia Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (N-QOL) were assessed before and one month after starting ramelteon. RESULTS The mean score on IPSS question 7 (nocturia) decreased significantly from 2.88 before starting ramelteon to 2.41 one month after starting the medication (P = 0.03). The mean total OABSS decreased significantly from 6.31 to 5.38 (P = 0.03), and the mean for OABSS question 2 (nighttime frequency of nocturia) also significantly decreased from 2.63 to 2.13 (P = 0.01). The mean total N-QOL score did not change significantly. Two patients had dizziness; the remaining patients had no adverse drug-related events. CONCLUSIONS Ramelteon in combination with an α1-blocker could be a treatment option for reducing nocturia in men with BPH.

Abstract
Nocturia is a prevalent highly bothersome urinary symptom that may significantly detriment the health and well-being of sufferers. It is characterized by waking at night to void, each void preceded and followed by sleep, hence leading to fragmentation of sleep and day-time tiredness. This may result in reduced productivity in the workplace, which contributes to the significant burden to the wider society that nocturia incurs. Nocturia was traditionally viewed as one of the many urinary tract symptoms that occur due to lower urinary tract dysfunction. However, recently it has been recognized that due to its multi-factorial aetio-pathogenesis, nocturia should be viewed as distinct clinical condition in its own right. Careful assessment of the nocturic patient is essential so that treatment strategies are guided by the likely causes. Much research is currently being undertaken into the underlying causes and the optimal management approaches. This review will explore the contemporary status of research on nocturia with a focus on the current and newly available pharmacotherapies.

Abstract
UNLABELLED WHAT'S KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT? AND WHAT DOES THE STUDY ADD?: Desmopressin orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) 60-240 μg has proved an effective and well-tolerated antidiuretic treatment in male and female patients with nocturia. The main adverse event is hyponatraemia. Recent studies suggest that female patients are more sensitive to desmopressin ODT, achieving the same efficacy at lower doses than male patients. The study demonstrates the efficacy of desmopressin ODT in male and female Japanese patients with nocturia. It provides further evidence that the optimum desmopressin dose for the treatment of nocturia is lower in females than in males. Tailoring the dose according to gender provides an improved therapeutic window with the benefits of a decreased risk of hyponatraemia without compromising efficacy. OBJECTIVES To establish the dose-response efficacy of desmopressin in a Japanese patient population for the treatment of nocturia. To explore gender differences in sensitivity to desmopressin in Japanese patients with nocturia. PATIENTS AND METHODS A phase II multicentre, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, comparative clinical trial was conducted. Subjects aged 55-75 years, with a mean of ≥2 voids per night, were included and randomized to receive placebo or one of four doses of desmopressin orally disintegrating tablet (ODT): 10 μg, 25 μg, 50 μg or 100 μg. The dose-response relationship of pharmacodynamic variables measured after a single dose of desmopressin administered to water-loaded subjects (treatment period 1) was compared with the primary clinical endpoint of change from baseline in mean number of nocturnal voids, after 28 days of desmopressin treatment (treatment period 2). RESULTS A total of 116 patients were treated in treatment period 1 of whom 113 qualified for treatment period 2, and 111 completed the study. In treatment period 1 a dose-response relationship was observed, both overall and in each gender group. Overall, the duration of antidiuretic action (DOA; time with urine osmolality >200 mOsm/kg) for the 25, 50 and 100 μg doses was 2 h (P = 0.010), 3.45 h (P < 0.001) and 5.74 h (P < 0.001), respectively; all statistically significant compared with placebo. Female patients were found to be more sensitive to desmopressin; DOA in female patients was longer than in male patients after desmopressin 25 and 50 μg. Extrapolation suggests that male patients require ∼58 μg to achieve similar DOA to females receiving 25 μg. A dose-response relationship was also seen in treatment period 2 for the group overall with a greater reduction in mean number of nocturnal voids from baseline to day 28 at higher doses, and with significant reductions in the 25- (P = 0.015) 50- (P < 0.001) and 100-μg (P = 0.001) dose groups compared with placebo. Similar dose-response relationships were also seen when the data were analysed by gender. Desmopressin ODT was well tolerated with no serious or severe adverse events. CONCLUSIONS A dose-response relationship for desmopressin ODT was shown in a population of Japanese patients with nocturia. The study suggests that the optimum desmopressin dose for the treatment of nocturia is lower in females than in males, indicating a gender-specific therapeutic window with a decreased risk of hyponatraemia without compromising efficacy on reduction of nocturnal voids. Further dose-finding studies are planned to confirm the recommended dose for the treatment of nocturia in a Japanese patient population.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of desmopressin combined with anticholinergics on daytime frequency and urgency in female patients with overactive bladder (OAB). MATERIALS AND METHODS We included 68 female patients with OAB. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 5 mg of solifenacin (group I) or 5 mg of solifenacin and 0.2 mg of desmopressin (group II) for 2 weeks. A pre/post-treatment 3-day voiding diary and the Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) were used to assess changes in voiding symptoms and quality of life (QoL); results were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Groups I and II included 31 and 37 patients, respectively. Time to first void was 12 min later in group II (105 min vs. 117 min), but this difference was not statistically significant. However, time to the second and third voids (203 min vs. 255 min, 312 min vs. 368 min) and the first urgency episode (212 min vs. 255 min) were significantly longer in group II. Compared with group I, patients in group II showed significant improvement in QoL scores. When improvement after treatment was defined as increase in time to first void of greater than 10% after 2 weeks of treatment, desmopressin with anticholinergics was more effective in patients over the age of 65 years and with more than 150 ml of voided volume. CONCLUSIONS Desmopressin combined with anticholinergics was more effective than anticholinergics only in the treatment of female patients with OAB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of solifenacin for not only overactive bladder symptoms but also sleep disturbance. Nocturia and urgency are independent factors for sleep disturbance. METHODS Fifteen male patients with overactive bladder symptoms and sleep disturbance were enrolled in this study. The overactive bladder symptoms score (OABSS) and Athens insomnia scale (AIS) were used as a subjective questionnaire for overactive bladder symptoms and insomnia. The Actiwatch-16 (Mini-Mitter-Respironics, Inc., Bend, OR) was used as an objective measurement tool for insomnia. Total sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep latency, wake-after-sleep onset, and number of awakenings were measured by the Actiwatch. We evaluated the changes of each parameter before and 8 weeks after the administration of solifenacin. Statistical comparisons before and after the administration were made using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. To examine the relation between OABSS and AIS, Spearman's testing was used for correlations between independent variables and P<.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Total OABSS and total AIS were significantly improved after administration of solifenacin. The categories of urgency and nocturia in OABSS and the categories of awakening during the night and sleep quality in AIS were also significantly improved. The Actiwatch study showed that total sleep time and sleep efficiency were significantly improved. The decrease of AIS was significantly correlated with the decrease of urgency (ρ=0.635, P=.0175) but not with nocturia. CONCLUSION The treatment of urgency by solifenacin may improve not only overactive bladder symptoms but also sleep disturbance.
