Overview
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the significance of warning time for the evaluation of treatment efficacy of overactive bladder syndrome.
Methods: The PubMed database was searched for all relevant clinical studies evaluating warning time for the medicamentous treatment of overactive bladder.
Results: Four clinical studies evaluating three different drugs for the treatment of overactive bladder were found. The value of warning time increased in active arms compared to placebo in all studies, in three of them significantly. Various methods of evaluating warning time were used in the studies.
Conclusions: Medicamentous treatment of overactive bladder leads to the significant increase of warning time. More clinical studies with a standardized method of evaluation must be performed to determine a role of warning time in the assessment of overactive bladder treatment.
