Randomized Controlled TrialUrodynamics and safety of the β₃-adrenoceptor agonist mirabegron in males with lower urinary tract symptoms and bladder outlet obstruction.
Bladder outlet obstruction often presents as storage and voiding symptoms. We investigated urodynamic parameters in men with lower urinary tract symptoms and bladder outlet obstruction treated with the β₃ agonist mirabegron, a new therapy for overactive bladder symptoms. ⋯ Mirabegron did not adversely affect voiding urodynamics (maximum urinary flow and detrusor pressure at maximum urinary flow) compared with placebo after 12 weeks of treatment.

Randomized Controlled TrialImproving patient knowledge about sacral nerve stimulation using a patient based educational video.
We developed a patient based educational video to address the information needs of women considering sacral nerve stimulation for overactive bladder. ⋯ Women with overactive bladder considering sacral nerve stimulation therapy have specific information needs. The video that we developed to address these needs was associated with improved short-term patient knowledge.
