Evaluation of the Link Between Bladder Sensation and Changes in Skin Electrical Conductance and Heart Rate.

Evaluation of Sympathetic Skin Responses and Heart Rate Variability as Objective Measures of Bladder Sensation - a Double Blind Third Party Open Placebo Controlled Randomised Study Using a Single Dose of Tolterodine in Patients With Idiopathic Overactive Bladder and Healthy Volunteers

Measuring sympathetic skin response or heart rate variability can provide an objective biomarker of bladder sensation and its modulation by drug with potential to treat overactive bladder.
