Pelvic floor exercises are more effective in subjective and objective outcomes with biofeedback or verbal feedback .
Weight loss with diet and exercise , caffeine reduction , 25 - 50 % reduction in fluid intake , and pelvic floor muscle exercises with verbal instruction and or biofeedback were all efficacious .
Botulinum toxin A improves urge incontinence episodes , urgency , frequency , quality of life , nocturia , and urodynamic testing parameters .
Acupuncture  improves quality of life and urodynamic testing parameters .
Extracorporeal magnetic stimulation improves urodynamic parameters .
Mirabegron improves daily incontinence episodes , nocturia , number of daily voids , and urine volume per void , whereas solabegron improves daily incontinence episodes .
Short-term posterior tibial nerve stimulation is more efficacious than pelvic floor muscle training exercises and behavioral therapy for improving : urgency , urinary incontinence episodes , daily voids , volume per void , and overall quality of life .
Sacral neuromodulation is more efficacious than antimuscarinic treatment for subjective improvement of overactive bladder and quality of life .
Transvaginal electrical stimulation demonstrates subjective improvement in overactive bladder symptoms and urodynamic parameters .
Multiple therapies , including physical therapy , behavioral therapy , botulinum toxin A , acupuncture , magnetic stimulation , mirabegron , posterior tibial nerve stimulation , sacral neuromodulation , and transvaginal electrical stimulation , are efficacious in the treatment of overactive bladder
The purpose of the study was to determine the efficacy and safety of nonantimuscarinic treatments for overactive bladder .
Group treatments for sensitive health care problems: a randomised controlled trial of group versus individual physiotherapy sessions for female urinary incontinence
Background The aim was to compare effectiveness of group versus individual sessions of physiotherapy in terms of symptoms , quality of life , and costs , and to investigate the effect of patient preference on uptake and outcome of treatment . Methods A pragmatic , multi-centre r and omised controlled trial in five British National Health Service physiotherapy departments . 174 women with stress and /or urge incontinence were r and omised to receive treatment from a physiotherapist delivered in a group or individual setting over three weekly sessions . Outcome were measured as Symptom Severity Index ; Incontinence-related Quality of Life question naire ; National Health Service costs , and out of pocket expenses . Results The majority of women expressed no preference ( 55 % ) or preference for individual treatment ( 36 % ) . Treatment attendance was good , with similar attendance with both service delivery models . Overall , there were no statistically significant differences in symptom severity or quality of life outcomes between the models . Over 85 % of women reported a subjective benefit of treatment , with a slightly higher rating in the individual compared with the group setting . When all health care costs were considered , average cost per patient was lower for group sessions ( Mean cost difference £ 52.91 95 % , confidence interval ( £ 25.82 - £ 80.00 ) ) . Conclusion Indications are that whilst some women may have an initial preference for individual treatment , there are no substantial differences in the symptom , quality of life outcomes or non-attendance . Because of the significant difference in mean cost , group treatment is recommended . Trial Registration Trial Registration number : IS RCT N
