Brief Summary
Overactive bladder is a prevalent urological disorder marked by symptoms such as urinary urgency, increased frequency of urination, and nighttime urination (nocturia). Neurotrophins, including nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, play crucial roles in the development and function of neurons. Recent research has suggested a possible connection between these neurotrophins and OAB. This study sought to explore the relationship between urinary levels of NGF and BDNF and the presence of OAB.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
NGF anf BDNF levels in overactive bladder patients
NGF AND BDNF LEVELS ARE HIGH IN PATIENTS WITH OVERACTIVE BLADDER.
6 months
Study Arms (2)
overactive bladder group
OAB was diagnosed according to the patient's complaint of urgency with or without urge incontinence as the core symptom according to the criteria defined by the International Continence Society
control group
As a control group, patients who were admitted to the outpatient clinic for other reasons and who did not have OAB symptoms and have normal voiding functions were included
Interventions
urinary neurotrophins
Eligibility Criteria
adult patients (aged 18-75 years) presenting to the urology outpatient clinic with a preliminary OAB diagnosis \-
