The faculty will examine the leading role Japanese research and development has played in understanding overactive bladder and the current treatment options, as well as what the future holds for patients and clinicians alike. The session endeavours to answer the following questions:
- Why don’t patients persist with treatment?
- How does our understanding of the pathophysiology of the lower urinary tract provide the key to current and future treatment strategies?
- Can we define sub populations of patients in a clinically meaningful way?
- How does the emerging ‘real-life’ data inform treatment choice?
