Treatment Summary

Mirabegron is a medication that relaxes the bladder muscles to help with urinary frequency and incontinence. It is different from other treatments because it doesn’t have the same range of side effects as other medications. It was approved by the FDA in 2012 and can be used to treat adults with overactive bladder. In 2021, an extended-release granule formulation was approved for pediatric patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity. Mirabegron is also used in other countries like Canada, the European Union, and Japan.

Effectiveness

How Mirabegron Affects Patients

Mirabegron relaxes the bladder muscles, allowing the bladder to hold more urine and decreasing urgency. It has been reported to cause urinary retention in people with bladder outlet obstruction, so should be used with caution in these patients. Mirabegron also increases both blood pressure and heart rate, which can be dangerous for those with uncontrolled hypertension, so should also be used with caution in these cases.

Mirabegron for Overactive Bladder

This medication is much cheaper than having a surgical implant, and it works just as well for me. The only downside is that it's still pretty pricey.

Mirabegron for Urine Leakage When there is a Strong Desire to Void

Worked great with no real side effects to speak of. The only problem is that it's quite expensive--$116 a month.

Mirabegron for Overactive Bladder

I had leakage and urgent incontinence/flooding. Detrol was effective but dry mouth was horrible. Mirabegron has worked almost as well and with no side effects.

Mirabegron for Overactive Bladder

I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly this medication worked. However, I developed an upset stomach as a result of taking it. This seems to be a common side effect, but it's still worth mentioning.

Mirabegron for Overactive Bladder

I've tried so many different medications for incontinence, and this one was by far the most effective. I only had to get out of bed once during the night, which is a huge improvement from before.

Mirabegron for Overactive Bladder

I've been taking Mirabegron for a while now and it's helped me a lot. It's definitely my preferred choice of medication, but I had to stop taking it for a couple months because I started developing a skin rash about six months ago. Not sure if it was the Mirabegron or not, but that is one of the potential side effects so I figured it was best to be safe.

Detrusor Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation for Overactive Bladder

22 - 80
Female
Palo Alto, CA

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a vaginal radiofrequency (RF) device called MORPHEUSV works to treat overactive bladder (OAB) in women. Researchers also want to learn how safe the device is for this indication. This study will include women ages 22 to 80 who have had OAB symptoms for at least 6 months. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the MORPHEUSV device lower the number of daily episodes of accidental urine leakage caused by urgency? Does it work better than a sham (placebo) treatment? Researchers will compare the MORPHEUSV device to a sham treatment to see how well it reduces symptoms of overactive bladder. Participants will: 1) Receive one session of either the MORPHEUSV or sham treatment. 2) Track their symptoms using a diary and questionnaires 3) Return for three to six follow-up visits over 12 months. This study is being conducted at multiple clinics in the United States.

Extended Release Torsemide for Overactive Bladder in Heart Failure

18+
All Sexes
Dallas, TX

This research study is being done to compare the effectiveness two drugs: an extended release torsemide (ERT) versus generic immediate release Torsemide (IRT) in reducing the worsening of symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB i.e., frequency, urgency, or urgency incontinence) in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). This study will include CHF patients who experience worsening OAB) symptoms with use of a loop diuretic. The total duration of the study is about eight weeks with a total of nine visits. There will be a screening visit that lasts one to two hours. The screening visit includes history and physical exams, blood draws, and urine analysis. If eligible for the study, participants will receive either generic torsemide or extended release torsemide for the first four weeks. Participants will do a virtual research visit on week one, two and three to submit a symptom diary and answer a questionnaire about urinary symptoms. At four weeks, history and physician exam will be done and blood will be collected. Participants will be assigned to receive either extended release torsemide (if they initially received generic torsemide) and generic torsemide (if they initially received extended release torsemide) for the next four weeks. Participants will attend virtual research visits on week five, six and seven to submit a symptom diary and answer a questionnaire about urinary symptoms. At the end of the study in week eight, they will have history and physical exams and blood draws. Some risks from the study may include side effects of torsemide like acute kidney injury, fluid/electrolyte loss, hypersensitivity reactions and reversible hearing loss/tinnitus.
