| description | Almost one-fifth of the people in the world experience a decrease in quality of life due to
overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. The main bothersome symptoms are urgency accompanied
by urinary frequency and nocturia. This chronic, disabling condition is first managed by reducing
fluid intake and pelvic floor muscle training, supplemented with antimuscarinic drugs, if necessary.
However, refractory cases often still occur. In more severe cases, invasive surgical interventions can
be considered; yet, the success rate is still inconsistent, and there is a high complication rate. This
condition is frustrating for patients and challenging for the medical staff involved. Although its
pathophysiology has not been fully elucidated, peripheral autonomic somatic and sensory afferent
receptors are considered to be involved in this condition. Hence, currently, physical agent-based
treatments such as neuromodulation have taken a significant place in the third-line therapy of OAB.
The efficacy and safety profiles of electrical and magnetic stimulation continue to evolve. Physical-
based agents provide an appealing option owing to their effectiveness and minimal side effects. In
addition, more physical therapies using light and shock energy are currently being investigated. Thus,
a comprehensive understanding of these modalities is an extremely important aspect to provide the
most suitable modalities for patients. |
