This review is just fantastic! The link I provided below is the consumer-oriented review of the evidence for treatment of urinary incontinence. This tool displays the evidence so well through the use of symbols, making the interpretation all too easy. When scrolling down to the drug treatment section, I was not surprised to see how drugs for the treatment of urinary incontinence have very little evidence of effectiveness in women, but they do have quite a few side-effects. Non-drug interventions, such as bladder training and pelvic floor muscle exercises, are far superior to drugs. Every woman with urinary incontinence should have access to this evidence-based review from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Job well done!
