Antimuscarinic drugs are still first-line treatment for the symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) and are associated with good initial response rates. Adverse effects and decreasing efficacy over the longer term do, however, limit their overall effectiveness. As such, alternatives to antimuscarinics are needed. The recognition of the functional contribution of the urothelium, the spontaneous myocyte activity during bladder filling, and the diversity of nerve transmitters involved in the symptoms of the OAB has sparked interest in pharmacologic manipulation of both peripheral and central pathophysiology. Some of the treatments currently under investigation are discussed in this review.
抗毒蕈碱药物仍然是治疗膀胱过度活动症(OAB)症状的一线药物,且初始有效率良好。然而,其不良反应以及长期疗效降低确实限制了它们的整体有效性。因此,需要抗毒蕈碱药物的替代物。对尿路上皮功能作用的认识、膀胱充盈期间自发的肌细胞活动以及参与OAB症状的神经递质多样性,引发了人们对外周和中枢病理生理学药物调控的兴趣。本综述讨论了目前正在研究的一些治疗方法。
