Method evidence record

Overactive Bladder Questionnaire

The OAB-q is a patient-reported outcome measure designed to assess the symptoms and impact of overactive bladder syndrome on health-related quality of life. Developed by Coyne and colleagues and first published in 2005, it exists in both long-form (33 items) and short-form (SF, 25 items) versions. The OAB-q is internationally validated and widely used in clinical research, pharmaceutical trials, and specialist urology and gynecology practice.
