Summary
The primary aim of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of combined behavioral +
drug therapy compared to behavioral treatment alone and drug therapy alone as a way to
improve outcomes in the treatment of OAB symptoms in men. We hypothesize that combined
therapy will result in better outcomes than either behavioral or drug therapy alone. The
second aim is to compare two methods of implementing combined therapy: simultaneously as
initial therapy vs. stepped therapy, in which therapies are combined following initial
behavioral or drug therapy alone. The third aim is to examine the costs and
cost-effectiveness of combined behavioral + drug therapy compared to behavioral or drug
therapy alone.
