Published: August 2005

Research has shown that bladder retraining can reverse or reduce symptoms of urge or stress/urge incontinence. An analysis of the A+ Links bladder-retraining program showed improved urinary symptoms and improved quality of life. There were statistically significant reductions in nocturia and episodes of urinary incontinence. There was also a significant increase in the mean amount of urine voided in milliliters. This pilot study appeared to validate and provide evidence that a bladder retraining program is a valuable strategy to reduce the impact of this most debilitating problem.
