The overactive bladder (OAB) is a debilitating condition in which patients suffer from urinary urgency, frequency and nocturia with or without urge urinary incontinence. The mainstay of pharmacotherapy for OAB is muscarinic receptor antagonists, which have been shown to be effective treatments for the symptoms of OAB. The mechanism underlying the efficacy of antimuscarinic agents against the symptoms of OAB is not completely understood. This review explores the role of bladder mucosal muscarinic receptors in the signaling pathways that are activated in response to bladder filling. The cholinergic system is seen to be involved in bladder afferent signaling at many levels and as such muscarinic receptor antagonists may affect bladder signaling via numerous pathways including release of mediators from the bladder urothelium and activation of suburothelial myofibroblasts and afferent nerves. Therefore the mucosal cholinergic system may represent another target for the antimuscarinic agents used to treat OAB.

Background: OAB (overactive bladder) is primarily a neuromuscular problem in which the detrusor muscle contracts inappropriately during bladder filling (i.e., storage phase). These contractions often occur regardless of the amount of urine in the bladder. The aim of this work is to study the effect of Solifenacin in comparison to Tolterodine in treatment of females with idiopathic over active bladder.Methods: This study included 50 patients who presented between March 2020 and February2021 to the outpatients clinic at El-Shatby maternity Hospital, Alexandria university. The patients were complaining of urinary urgency usually with urinary frequency, nocturia with or without urge incontinence. All cases were divided in two groups one of them receive Solifenacin5mg twice daily and the otherreceiveTolterodine2mg twice daily.Results: Both groups showed significant decrease in frequency number per day with p value <0.001ingroup I with Solifenacin which mean statistically significant difference between two groups. When the percentage of symptoms severity were compared between both groups, group 1 showed 53% reduction in symptoms severity while group II showed 6.67% reduction which cleared significant difference statistically in group I (p=0.001). The percentage of reduction of severity of symptoms was compared between the two groups, it showed about 60%reduction in symptoms severity in group 1while in group II only 9.7% reduction. This was statistically significant with (p<0.001) in group I with Solifenacin.Conclusions: This study suggests that Solifenacin10mg/day is more effective than Tolterodine4mg/day in reducing OAB incontinence episodes.

Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is defined as urinary urgency, usually accompanied by frequency and nocturia, with or without urgency incontinence, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other obvious pathology. In this review, we focus on recent advances in the management of OAB. We examine the evidence on the effect of anticholinergic load on OAB patients. Advances in medical treatment include a new beta-3 agonist, vibegron, which is thought to have fewer drug interactions than mirabegron. Treatment of genitourinary syndrome of the menopause with oestrogens and ospemifene have also shown promise for OAB. Botulinum toxin has been shown to be an effective treatment option. We discuss the new implantable neuromodulators that are on the market as well as selective bladder denervation and laser technology.
