title: Overactive bladder.
abstract: Overactive bladder (OAB) is common and has a negative impact on a patient's quality of life. It is important for physicians to know how to identify and manage patients with this condition. Usually only basic clinical evaluations and a good patient history are necessary to diagnose OAB. Effective and safe oral therapy is available and can be initiated by primary care physicians.
