Abstract
Purpose of Review
This article provides a review of the current literature on the applicability of each treatment for OAB, as well as unique clinical scenarios. In addition, the authors provide their own practical insight on how to approach third-line therapies for OAB.
Recent Findings
The treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) is increasingly common amongst specialists. OnabotulinumtoxinA and sacral neuromodulation are both highly effective third-line therapies for OAB, but work via very different mechanisms. The differences between the two are associated with potential benefits and complications unique for each.
Summary
The OAB clinician must account for several clinical and personal factors in counseling patients on options.
