Urinary incontinence is one of the most common medical conditions with an estimated 25 percent of the adult female population being affected. While overactive bladder is traditionally managed by pharmacotherapy, medication therapy in stress incontinence is of secondary importance. The options to clinically use alpha-adrenergic agents are limited by serious systemic adverse effects. The latest knowledge on physiology and pathophysiology of neural control of the closure apparatus function suggests, however, that pharmacotherapy might even be of use in this area.
