A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to enhance the treatment access and adherence for individuals suffering from overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI), conditions that affect millions of Americans. It will utilize a patient engagement tool designed to address barriers to treatment, such as cost and tolerability, and to improve overall quality of life. The study focuses on female patients aged 18 and older who have experienced OAB symptoms for at least three months and have not previously undergone behavioral treatment. By identifying and supporting vulnerable populations, the study seeks to increase therapy utilization and adherence among those most in need.
