Background:

Detrusor instability is a common condition causing urinary urgency and frequency.
Current treatments for detrusor instability have varying efficacy and side effect profiles.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of biofeedback training for treating detrusor instability in female patients.
To assess treatment outcomes using both subjective and objective measures.

Main Methods:

Biofeedback training utilizing auditory and visual stimuli was administered.
Treatment involved 4 to 8 weekly one-hour sessions.
Twenty-seven female patients diagnosed with detrusor instability participated.

Main Results:
