Purpose Urge urinary incontinence is a major problem, especially in the elderly, and to our knowledge the underlying mechanisms of disease and therapy are unknown. We used biofeedback assisted pelvic floor muscle training and functional brain imaging (functional magnetic resonance imaging) to investigate cerebral mechanisms, aiming to improve the understanding of brain-bladder control and therapy. Materials and Methods Before receiving biofeedback assisted pelvic floor muscle training functionally intact, older community dwelling women with urge urinary incontinence as well as normal controls underwent comprehensive clinical and bladder diary evaluation, urodynamic testing and brain functional magnetic resonance imaging. Evaluation was repeated after pelvic floor muscle training in those with urge urinary incontinence. Functional magnetic resonance imaging was done to determine the brain reaction to rapid bladder filling with urgency. Results Of 65 subjects with urge urinary incontinence 28 responded to biofeedback assisted pelvic floor muscle training with 50% or greater improvement of urge urinary incontinence frequency on diary. However, responders and nonresponders displayed 2 patterns of brain reaction. In pattern 1 in responders before pelvic floor muscle training the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and the adjacent supplementary motor area were activated as well as the insula. After the training dorsal anterior cingulate cortex/supplementary motor area activation diminished and there was a trend toward medial prefrontal cortex deactivation. In pattern 2 in nonresponders before pelvic floor muscle training the medial prefrontal cortex was deactivated, which changed little after the training. Conclusions In older women with urge urinary incontinence there appears to be 2 patterns of brain reaction to bladder filling and they seem to predict the response and nonresponse to biofeedback assisted pelvic floor muscle training. Moreover, decreased cingulate activation appears to be a consequence of the improvement in urge urinary incontinence induced by training while prefrontal deactivation may be a mechanism contributing to the success of training. In nonresponders the latter mechanism is unavailable, which may explain why another form of therapy is required.

“…The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ) bladder diary has been developed according to methodological requirements for assessment tools and has proceeded through contextual validations (LOE 2, grade B). 9 Medication review is an important part of nocturia clinical assessment (grade A). Physical examination, flow rate testing, and urinalysis as relevant to assessment of LUTS help identify potential contributory mechanisms in some cases of nocturia (grade C).…”

“…The ICI performed a cross-sectional study comparing successive urodynamic study using both the ICI questionnaire-UI short form (ICIQ-UI-SF) and 1-h pad weighing test and found that the best independent predictors of urodynamic incontinence were the patient's age and the ICIQ-UI-SF [3]. The ICI also developed and validated an ICIQ 3-day bladder diary for the assessment of LUTS and showed it to be valid, reliable, and responsive to change [4]. …”
