NCT ID NCT07545148
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to learn what it's truly like to live with overactive bladder (OAB) by asking 2000 adults in eight European countries about their daily activities, emotional health, social life, and work. Participants complete surveys about their symptoms and quality of life. The goal is to capture the real-world burden of OAB from the patient's perspective, not to test a new treatment.
