Participant Flow

Participants were recruited through mailed surveys about bladder symptoms and through clinics at two Veterans Affairs Medical Centers(2005-2009).

To minimize possible effect of undetected obstruction we used a 4-week alpha-blocker run-in (tamsulosin 0.4 mg/d or alternative). Participants who continued to meet inclusion criteria after run-in were randomized. Alpha-blocker therapy was continued throughout the trial, unless not tolerated.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline to post-treatment (week 8)

Population: Participants who completed treatment and returned bladder diary with useable urgency scores

Indevus Urgency Severity Scale incorporated into the 7-day bladder diary. Scores for urgency severity ranged from 0 to 3: 0: None-no urgency 1. Mild-awareness of urgency, but is easily tolerated. 2. Moderate-enough urgency discomfort that it interferes with or shortens usual activity 3. Severe-extreme urgency discomfort that abruptly stops all activities or tasks.

SECONDARY outcome

Population: Included participants who experienced incontinence at baseline only

Percent change in frequency of urge incontinence episodes based on 7-day bladder diary. Percent change was calculated as (\[frequency at baseline\] - \[frequency at 8 weeks\]) / (frequency at baseline).

Population: Completers

Change in score on American Urological Association (AUA) Symptom Index (baseline to week 8). The index measures lower urinary tract symptoms. Scores range from 0 to 35, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.
