Is urodynamic evaluation able to change and improve the management of women with idiopathic overactive bladder?

For women with overactive bladder (OAB), current guidelines recommend the use of urodynamic studies (UDS) only in complicated cases. This study aimed to investigate whether UDS can also be helpful in uncomplicated cases. Specific aims of the study were: 1) to evaluate objective benefit and subjective patient satisfaction with tailored treatment based on the UDS diagnosis compared to the outcomes of the pharmacological treatment only based on the symptoms; 2) to investigate the correlation between symptoms and UDS findings in women with uncomplicated idiopathic OAB symptoms; 3) to assess the ability of UDS to modify management decisions in these patients.
