Is Vaginal Laser Effective for Overactive Bladder? Results of a Systematic Review

Purpose of Review: The aim of this review is to determine the efficacy of laser treatment in overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome in women. Recent Findings: In international literature, there are few studies focusing on OAB symptoms. The proposed treatments included thulium laser, fractional CO2 laser and Erbium:YAG laser. Summary: Although the analysed studies are not RCTs, the results show the efficacy of laser treatment in OAB symptoms, also compared to conventional medical and surgical treatments. However, these tests must be implemented with RCTs and with large patient samples.
