- Abstract
Introduction and Objectives. Overactive Bladder (OAB) is defined according to International Continence Society (ICS), as urinary urgency, usually accompanied by frequency and nocturia, with or without urgency urinary incontinence in the absence of urinary tract infections or other obvious pathologies. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using Uractiv Control as monotherapy in patients with Overactive Bladder (OAB). Materials and Methods. We performed a prospective study which started in May 2018 in the Clinic of Urology from Targu Mures. Of the patients enrolled, diagnosed with Overactive Bladder, wet and dry forms, and treated with Uractiv Control 2 x 1 caps/day, 23 were fully evaluated over a 12 weeks period. The evaluation was performed using urine culture, ultrasound, bladder diaries, OAB questionnaire before and after the treatment and personalized satisfaction questionnaire after 12 weeks of treatment. Results. The frequency of daily micturitions was reduced from 10.30 (2.53 SD) per day to 8.69 (1.23 SD) per day (p=1.73), nocturia was improved from 2.85 (0.57 SD) micturitions per night to 1.67 +/- 0.69 SD (p=0.97) and the incontinence episodes from 4.08 +/- 2.26 SD to 3.18 +/- 1.46 SD (p=1.46). The result of OAB questionnaire was improved from 20.64 +/- 3.18 SD to 16.26 +/- 3.72 SD points (p=0.68). The clinical outcome was assessed using a personalized satisfaction questionnaire (limits of the scores: min 4, max 20 points) which totalized an average 14.67 +/- 3.72 of points after 3 months of treatment, p=0.82. Patients did not report any significant side effects of the treatment. Conclusions. Uractiv Control represents a safe treatment option with no side effects and small improvement of the storage symptoms in patients with Overactive Bladder.
