Objective evaluation of a subjective symptom remains a difficult area, and the entire field of overactive bladder management is rendered the more challenging by the defining symptom being that of urinary urgency. The SUNRISE study provides a valuable contribution in its sheer scope, using an extensive proportion of the symptom assessment tools available clinically to gauge baseline symptoms and anticholinergic response in a placebo controlled trial which may well prove a landmark study. The latest paper is valuable to the subspecialist and sets a benchmark. It can be found here.
