Does Oxybutynin Add to the Effectiveness of Prompted Voiding For Urinary Incontinence Among Nursing Home Residents? A Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Abstract

Oxybutynin does not add to the clinical effectiveness of PV in the majority of nursing home residents with urge type urinary incontinence. Selected residents may, however, become more responsive to PV while on oxybutynin. Our data are consistent with other studies of bladder relaxant medications in functionally impaired populations. New drugs and/or other interventions are needed for the large number of incontinent nursing home residents who do not respond well to PV.
