Article Abstract
Aims And Objectives: To compare and rank the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB) in network meta-analysis.
Background: Overactive Bladder affects many patients, which often generates bothersome symptoms and debilitates the quality of life. Non-pharmacological therapies have been widely used in OAB. However, due to insufficient evidence, it remains unclear which strategies are most suitable for OAB.
Methods: We integrated randomised controlled trials (RCTs), which were searched up to 1 January 2021, from 8 databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and China Biology Medicine disc). Studies that met the eligible criteria were assessed the risk of bias. Then, network meta-analyses were conducted by STATA, R, and OpenBUGS. The review followed PRISMA statement.
Results: A total of 24 studies comprising 2347 patients with OAB were included in this review, most of which were low to moderate risk of bias. The results of network meta-analysis implied that electric stimulation (ES) was the most effective intervention to reduce voided frequency and nocturia frequency of OAB.
Conclusions: Electric stimulation ranked the best in the management of OAB, and future studies should pay more attention to ES.

Many patients with injuries to their central nervous system, especially those who have had a stroke or a spinal cord injury, have neurogenic voiding dysfunction. It happens when patients can't control their bladder voluntarily, which can make them feel urgency, experience leaks, or have trouble emptying their bladder. If not treated right away, it can cause infections, damage to the bladder, or even kidney problems over time.

Objectives: This study aims to examine the association of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with the prevalence of overactive bladder (OAB).
Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 22,343 participants (≥ 20 years) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2018). We applied weighted multivariate logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression, subgroup, and sensitivity analyses to assess the associations between SII, NLR, and OAB.
Fear of falling, gait capacity, and dual task performance in multiple sclerosis patients with and without neurogenic overactive bladder.

Background: Overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms significantly affect the independence and quality of life in patient with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) by limiting daily activities. This study aimed to explore differences in fear of falling (FoF), gait, dual-task performance, and self-perceived impact of disease among PwMS with and without OAB.
Method: Participants were divided into two groups based on their Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-V8) scores: OAB (score ≥ 8) and non-OAB (score < 8).

The recent approval of a fixed-dose combination of silodosin (SOD) and solifenacin succinate (SOF) for overactive bladder syndrome has created a need for innovative analytical approaches enabling their simultaneous quantification. In this work, seven novel, eco-friendly, and cost-efficient spectrophotometric methods were developed for the concurrent determination of SOD and SOF. These methods overcome the limitations of conventional techniques by eliminating the need for complex instrumentation, labor-intensive procedures, and large volumes of hazardous organic solvents, offering a sustainable and accessible analytical alternative.
