New Treatment Strategies and Considerations in OAB to Improve Patient Outcomes (Archived CME/CE Webcast)
This educational activity has expired. You will not be able to claim credit for this activity.
Activity Description and Purpose
Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome has a negative effect on a patient’s independence, emotional wellbeing, work productivity, and overall quality of life. Although treatments are available in various forms, increasing evidence suggests that some medications that are commonly used to treat OAB pose a risk of cognitive decline, especially in older populations and in patients with a history of cognitive impairment. This educational activity is based on the proceedings of a symposium held in conjunction with the 95th Annual Meeting of the North Central Section of the American Urological Association on OAB that reviewed updates in the treatment of OAB, including clinical data on new and emerging treatments, and which highlighted some of the evidence on the increased risk of dementia associated with antimuscarinic use.
Target Audience
This educational activity is intended for urologists, urogynecologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients with overactive bladder.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, participants will be better able to:
- Review the data on central nervous system effects of antimuscarinic overactive bladder medications with those of β3-adrenoceptor agonists
- Review clinical trial data on new and emerging treatments for overactive bladder
- Develop appropriate treatment strategies for patients with overactive bladder
