Abstract
Overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI) are common chronic conditions that can negatively affect women's quality of life. Pelvic floor muscle training is the first-line treatment. Two recent Cochrane Reviews examining pelvic floor muscle training for the treatment of UI and OAB are summarized here to provide women's health nurses with current recommendations for UI and OAB management. This column also identifies practice improvement education in the area of pelvic floor muscle training and treatment for OAB and UI.
