Objective: The objective of the study was to determine whether there exists any relationship between nocturia and anxiety in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Although the exact cause of anxiety and nocturia in PD is unknown, we hypothesized that there is a relationship between these two PD symptoms. Anxiety may exacerbate nocturia or an opposite relationship may be present in which nocturia may result in heightened levels of anxiety.
Methods: Our study consisted of 314 PD patients, selected at random, and divided into groups based on the presence or absence of anxiety and nocturia. The occurrence of anxiety and nocturia was studied individually and collectively within these groups.
Results: The study found a significant association between anxiety and nocturia primarily driven by all PD patients (P < 0.0001), with greater significance found for the male patients (P < 0.0001) than female patients (P = 0.021).
Discussion: Based on these findings, we can conclude that anxiety and nocturia are not entirely independent symptoms in all PD patients. Thus, addressing anxiety may improve nocturia in PD or vice versa.

Patients with overactive bladder syndrome-wet (OAB-wet) experience urgency urinary incontinence, particularly urinary frequency and nocturia. Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is less addressed among OAB-wet patients. The study evaluated the prevalence of NE, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), urodynamic factors, and social factors in OAB-wet patient.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates nocturnal lower urinary tract symptoms, specifically nocturia, in geriatric rehabilitation patients, highlighting their prevalence and impact on patient characteristics.
- It involved a cohort of 641 inpatients who were assessed upon admission and discharge, revealing that over half experienced nocturia more than once a night, with associated factors like urinary incontinence and comorbid illnesses.
- The findings suggest that repeated episodes of nocturia correlate with worse functional status and quality of life, indicating that targeted interventions could improve symptoms and overall patient outcomes.
Ninjin'yoeito in the Management of Frailty and Overactive Bladder in Elderly Women: A Report of Two Cases.

Dentistry, Kanagawa Dental University, Kanagawa, JPN.
Article Synopsis
- This case report explores the effects of Ninjin'yoeito (NYT), a traditional Japanese medicine, in managing frailty and overactive bladder in two elderly women aged 84 and 80.
- After three months of treatment, both patients showed significant improvements in physical strength, cognitive function, and urinary symptoms, including reductions in urinary frequency.
- The findings suggest that NYT could be an effective treatment for frailty and overactive bladder in older adults, with potential benefits linked to increased testosterone levels, but more research is needed.
Bidirectional relationships between depression, anxiety and urinary symptoms in women: A prospective cohort study.

Bristol Medical School, Canynge Hall, 39 Whatley Road, Bristol BS8 2PS, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explores whether depression and anxiety lead to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in middle-aged women, and whether these symptoms later contribute to depression.
- - Based on data from the Avon Longitudinal Study, findings show that depression is linked to various types of urinary incontinence and urgency, while anxiety is only associated with nightly urination (nocturia).
- - The results indicate a complex relationship where mental health issues could influence LUTS, and vice versa, suggesting a need for further research to understand these connections better.
Assessing the Impact of the Mindfulness-Based Body Scan Technique on Sleep Quality in Multiple Sclerosis Using Objective and Subjective Assessment Tools: Single-Case Study.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system, often leading to poor sleep quality and diminished quality of life (QoL) for affected patients. Sleep disturbances in MS do not always correlate linearly with other symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, or pain. Various approaches, including stress reduction techniques such as mindfulness-based interventions, have been proposed to manage MS-related sleep issues.
