1. Evaluate overactive bladder (OAB), particularly in the presence of comorbidities, considering the impact on quality of life
2. Inform patients about current and emerging therapeutic options and strategies for managing OAB, focusing on the patient's needs and assessing efficacy, tolerability, and optimal adherence
3. Engage in more effective provider-patient dialogues to identify the patient's needs and improve outcomes for OAB
4. Provide proper counseling and support to patients with OAB to increase their motivation for treatment-plan adherence and to improve patient quality of life               

Program Description  
The American Urological Association and the European Association of Urology recommend a number of non-invasive, pharmacologic, and surgical options that can help reduce the symptoms of OAB, including lifestyle and behavioral changes as first-line therapy in OAB.  There is clear support for the effectiveness of bladder training (incremental voiding schedules done with distraction and self-assertions) and behavioral training (pelvic floor muscle training with urge suppression techniques) to reduce the symptoms of OAB. Typical mean improvements range from a 50% to 80% reduction in the frequency of incontinence. Voiding frequency can also be reduced in men and women. This case report covers a breadth of recommended behavior techniques that can be effective in a patient with modest new-onset OAB.
