title: Different cystometric types of deficient micturition reflex control in female urinary incontinence with special reference to the effect of parasympatholytic treatment.
abstract: The effect of 4 weeks' treatment with emepronium bromide in 20 incontinent female patients with detrusor hyperreflexia was compared to the effect in 20 patients who did not have uninhibited detrusor contractions during filling cystometry but who were unable to suppress a voluntarily induced detrusor contraction. In both groups, 65% benefited from the drug and no statistically significant differences were seen in the decrease in frequency of voiding and incontinence episodes during treatment. There were no differences between the groups for age, type and degree of urinary incontinence, and radiological findings of bladder suspension defects. In these patients it is important to perform cystometry, including detrusor reflex activation procedures and the testing of their ability to suppress a voluntarily induced detrusor contraction.
