abstract: The syndrome of overactive bladder (OAB) with the symptoms of frequency, urgency and nocturia is often seen. After the diagnosis has been made by careful exclusion of other conditions, there are different symptomatic treatment strategies available. These include drug treatment as well as minimally invasive local surgical treatments and treatments which intervene with the control of the bladder by modulating central nervous areas. Alternative methods such as acupuncture may help in individual cases; the placebo effect is high and there is a lack of controlled studies.
