least three months.

8. At least two urge accidents on the 7-day baseline bladder diary, and the number of
urge accidents must exceed the number of other types of accidents.

9. On urodynamic evaluation, there must be cystometric evidence of bladder dysfunction,
either: detrusor instability or maximal cystometric capacity is less than 400 ml.

Exclusion Criteria:

of a urinary pathogen on urine culture).

3. Fecal impaction.

4. Uncontrolled metabolic problem.

5. Post-void residual volume > 150 ml.
