Enhancing Third-Line Therapies for Overactive Bladder Using Patient Education Strategies.

Purpose of Review: In this review, we discuss the current literature concerning the use of patient education interventions for the improvement of outcomes and patient experience during third-line treatment for overactive bladder. Recent Findings: There are only a few prospective studies in the past decade which examine the role of patient education interventions in sacral neuromodulation and intradetrusor onabotulinum toxin treatments; these studies focus on the ability of the interventions to improve patient understanding and satisfaction around the procedure. Summary: Evidence for the use of patient education to optimize third-line overactive bladder therapies is scarce, but results show promise for using these types of interventions to enhance the patient experience.
