Study objectivesOveractive bladder syndrome (OAB) is a symptom complex consisting of urgency, urgency incontinence (UUI), frequency and nocturia. This study looked at whether oral desmopressin, by decreasing urine production by the kidneys, would prolong bladder filling time thereby increasing the time to reach maximum capacity, thus reducing Overactive Bladder (OAB) symptoms, and providing an alternative method of treatment to OAB sufferers.
Ethics approval(s)Ethical approval by the Southmead Local Ethics Research Committee was recieved 23/01/2004.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedOveractive bladder syndrome (OAB)
Intervention0.2 mg oral desmopressin tablets versus placebo.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Desmopressin
Primary outcome measure1. Evaluation of effectiveness of desmopressin in increasing the time to first unwanted event, in patients with overactive bladder, in the first eight hours of the day, following treatment.
2. Evaluation of the effect of desmopressin on quality of life in patients with overactive bladder syndrome using the International Confrontation on Incontinence (ICI) OAB short form questionnaire.
Secondary outcome measuresEvaluation of effectiveness of desmopressin by decreasing the average number of unwanted events (micturitions, incontinence episodes, urgency episode), during the first eight hours of the day, following treatment.
