title: [Clinical and paraclinical evaluations of bladder sensitivity. Review of the literature].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The aim of this work was to carry out a review of the literature on the clinical and paraclinical evaluation of bladder sensory (BS) to better understand BS disorders in nonneurological patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty-three articles were selected from the Medline(®) Database between 1992 and 2012 using the following key words: "sensory/sensitivity bladder evaluation", "sensory/sensitivity bladder scale", "sensory/sensitivity bladder questionnaire", "urodynamic bladder sensory", "urgency questionnaire" and "Overactive Bladder (OAB) questionnaire".
  
  
  RESULTS
  Evaluation of BS by asking questions during cystometry is validated (LE 2). The sensation of the desire to void progresses linearly with bladder filling (LE 2). Many symptoms and quality of life questionnaires related to BS anomalies have been proposed. Bladder diaries, frequency/volume curves (LE 2) and clinical algorithms (LE 3) could be an alternative to evaluate BS.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Current evaluation only provides a partial view of BS. A multidimensional approach should lead to better understanding of BS disorders.
