Summary

This study looks at whether adding a brief sleep program to standard bladder medication can reduce urgent leaks and nighttime urination in women aged 60 and older. About 120 women with frequent urgency incontinence and nocturia will receive either medication alone or medication plus a behavioral sleep intervention. The goal is to see if improving sleep helps bladder control and to understand brain changes involved.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Mirabegron (Myrbetriq) and Brief Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that treating poor sleep alongside standard medication reduces bladder leaks and nighttime bathroom trips in older women.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-phase study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The sleep intervention requires active participation and may not work for all.
