Key Points
Treatment principles
  • Treatment options for OAB are divided by “lines of therapy” based on levels of invasiveness;

  • First line includes lifestyle modifications and pelvic floor physical therapy;

  • Second line consists of drug therapy with anticholinergics and/or beta-3 agonists;

  • Third line includes intravesical botulinum toxin injection, SNM* and PTNS**;

  • Treatment should ideally escalate from least to most invasive, but different modalities can be combined if single-therapy approach is not successful.
