Abstract
- Older adults frequently experience nocturia and sleep disturbance concurrently, and problems with sleep resulting from nocturia are a major factor accompanying the bother associated with nocturia. A multicomponent treatment strategy is usually warranted. Initial treatment includes lifestyle modification and behavioral treatment with consideration of pelvic floor muscle exercise-based therapy. Early evidence suggests that behavioral treatment results in similar nocturia reductions compared with the most frequently used drug therapies. Providers should consider formal sleep evaluation if initial treatment strategies for nocturia do not result in significant improvement, because specific sleep disorders may predispose to nocturia.<br /> (Published by Elsevier Inc.)
