As with other interventions for OAB, SBD resulted in a reduction in OAB symptoms and an improvement in QoL measures. However, the decrease in urgency voids was offset by an increase in nonurgency voids, suggesting that habit or defensive voiding is a significant driver of urinary frequency. It is not certain if this is a unique finding of the SBD effect, but these data do suggest that analyses of outcomes of other OAB interventions are warranted to gain a better understanding of the genesis of OAB symptoms.
