Vaginal estrogen vs oral bladder medicine for overactive bladder
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares vaginal estradiol (a hormone placed in the vagina) versus an oral beta-3 medicine called mirabegron for overactive bladder symptoms. It looks to see which treatment works better and is safer for postmenopausal women.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have overactive bladder symptoms that score high on a specific questionnaire (OAB-q SF).
- You are postmenopausal (for example, no period for 12 months or certain past uterus/ovary situations).
- You can read and speak English well enough to take study questionnaires.
- You do not have reasons you can’t take vaginal estrogen or mirabegron.
- Your bladder is emptying well (post-void leftover urine is not too high).

This study compares two medications—tadalafil (a daily pill for blood flow) and solifenacin (a pill that relaxes the bladder)—to see which works better for women with overactive bladder (OAB), which causes sudden, strong urges to urinate. It will help doctors find a treatment that may have fewer side effects.
This study tests a new non-surgical treatment for overactive bladder using radiofrequency energy delivered through the vagina to calm the nerves that cause urgency and leaking. It is for people who have urge incontinence and have not found relief from medication.
This trial tests whether adding estrogen therapy to a combination of two bladder medications works better than the medications alone for women with overactive bladder that hasn't improved with standard treatment.
This study compares two pills (solifenacin and mirabegron) for treating overactive bladder. It aims to see which works better and has fewer side effects. You may qualify if you're newly diagnosed and haven't tried these medicines before.
This study compares the effectiveness of a combination of medications (solifenacin and mirabegron) versus solifenacin alone with a vaginal estrogen cream for treating women with overactive bladder. It may help those who haven't improved with single medication.
This trial tests whether simple blood tests can predict how well a woman with overactive bladder will respond to the medication mirabegron (also called Myrbetriq). If successful, doctors may be able to choose the right treatment earlier.
