Measure
TROSPIUM CHLORIDE
Those with overactive bladder will be administered either a placebo or Sanctura XR extended release (Trospium chloride) for treatment (60 mg). Trospium Chloride: Subject will be administered either placebo or 60 mg dosage of Sanctura XR for treatment of overactive bladder. Subject will take Sanctura XR once every morning. Blood will be drawn for plasma extraction at each visit.
PLACEBO
Subjects may be administered a placebo rather than the Sanctura XR (Trospium Chloride). Placebo

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 4

The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) or Folstein test is a 30-point questionnaire that is used extensively in clinical and research settings to measure cognitive impairment. It is commonly used in medicine and allied health to screen for dementia. The range is 0-30, with higher values indicating better outcomes.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 4

The Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q) was developed to assess symptom bother and the impact of overactive bladder (OAB) on health-related quality of life (HRQL). The instrument was developed and validated in both continent and incontinent OAB patients, including both men and women. Total range is 19-101 and higher values indicate worse outcomes.
