Values are given as the mean ± standard deviation. IIQ-7 = Incontinence Impact Questionnaire; MUCP = maximum urethral closure pressure; OABSS = Overactive Bladder Symptoms Score; PdetQmax = detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate; Q2 = Question 2; Qmax = maximum flow rate; UDI-6 = Urogenital Distress Inventory; USS = Urgency Severity Scale.

By paired t test.

Only 16 women in the daytime group and 23 in the nighttime group have paired data about nocturia at 4 weeks. Only 11 women in the daytime group and 12 in the nighttime group have paired data about nocturia at 12 weeks.
