Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The severity of overactive bladder symptoms assessed with Overactive Bladder Questionnaire_V8 | Change from baseline bladder symptoms at 6 weeks | Overactive Bladder Questionnaire\_V8 assessing severity of overactive bladder symptoms will be used. This scale includes items on urgency, incontinence, nocturia and voiding frequency, as defined by the International Continence Society, referring to the previous four weeks. Overactive Bladder Questionnaire\_V8 assessing severity of overactive bladder symptoms will be used. This scale includes items on urgency, incontinence, nocturia and voiding frequency, as defined by the International Continence Society. The final score is the sum of the partial scores obtained for each of the eight questions, ranging from 0 to 40. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Daily urinary frequency measured with voiding diary | Change from baseline the average daily urinary frequency at 6 weeks | Patients will be also instructed to keep voiding diary for three days. In this diary, the average daily urinary frequency will be recorded. |
| The number of nocturia measured with voiding diary | Change from baseline the average number of nocturia at 6 weeks | Patients will be also instructed to keep voiding diary for three days. In this diary, the average number of nocturia will be recorded. |
| Urgency complaint assessed with the Perception of Intensity of Urgency Scale | Change from baseline urgency complaints at 6 weeks | The patient's Perception of Intensity of Urgency Scale assessing urgency complaints will be used. This scale is scored on 0 and 4 points (the best score is '0' and the worst score is '4') based on urgency complaints. Higher scores indicate more severe urgency complaints. |
| pelvic floor muscle strength measured with Modified Oxford Grading scale | Change from baseline pelvic floor muscle strength at 6 weeks | The modified Oxford Grading Scale quantifies pelvic floor muscle strength as: 0, no contraction; 1, flicker; 2, weak; 3, moderate; 4, good; and 5, strong. |
| quality of life assessed with King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) | Change from baseline quality of life at 6 weeks | King's Health Questionnaire assessing quality of life related to urinary problems will be used. This questionnaire consists of two parts and 32 items. The first part (21 items) contains two single-item questions that address General Health Perception and Incontinence Impact and the following seven multi-item domains: Role, Physical, and Social Limitations, Limitations in Personal Relationship, Emotional Problems, Sleep and Energy Disturbances associated with UI, and Severity Measures for UI. The second part has an 11-item Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) that assesses the presence and severity of urinary symptoms. While the entire SSS is scored from 0 (best) to 30 (worst), the minimum possible score is 0 (best health) and the maximum possible score is 100 (worst health) for all other KHQ domains. |
| The number of urinary incontinence measured with voiding diary | Change from baseline the average number of urinary incontinence at 6 weeks | Patients will be also instructed to keep voiding diary for three days. In this diary, the average number of urinary incontinence will be recorded. |
