title: Urodynamic effects of intravesical instillation of terodiline in healthy volunteers and in patients with detrusor hyperactivity.
abstract: The effects of intravesical instillation of terodiline on urodynamic parameters were investigated in 8 healthy volunteers (10(-4) M.) and in 34 patients with detrusor hyperactivity (10(-5) M.) of neurogenic (22) or nonneurogenic (12) origin. The volunteers were investigated with conventional medium-fill cystometry, while in the patients a modified cystometric technique with slow intermittent filling was used. The reproducibility of the procedure was verified in 17 patients. Instillation of terodiline had no effect on the normal bladders nor were any improvements found in the nonneurogenic patients. In 12 patients in the neurogenic group treated with terodiline instillation the bladder capacity increased significantly (p < 0.05) from 289 +/- 32 to 413 +/- 55 ml. Within this group 5 patients were responders. It is suggested that pathophysiological changes may explain the difference between the neurogenic and nonneurogenic groups, and that the number of responders within the neurogenic group may be increased by an optimal drug preparation and increased dosage. Intravesical administration of terodiline may offer an alternative treatment in selected patients with detrusor hyperreflexia.
