Is urodynamic evaluation able to change and improve the management of women with idiopathic overactive bladder?

CONCLUSIONS: we showed that OAB management tailored according to the UDS diagnosis results in higher subjective satisfaction if compared with a pharmacological treatment symptoms-based. Our study confirmed a lack of correlation between OAB symptoms and the urodynamically proven diagnosis of detrusor overactivity (DO). It also suggested that UDS can determine the underlying pathophysiology of every woman with OAB syndrome, whether complicated or uncomplicated, allowing treatment to be appropriately tailored with better results.
