Purpose: Many self-help guides advise patients that spreading fluid intake throughout the day can reduce overactive bladder symptoms. However, although animal studies suggest a link between a faster filling rate and increased afferent nerve firing, to our knowledge the relationship between the filling rate and bladder sensation has not been examined in humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bladder volume and the bladder filling rate on the bladder sensation and voiding patterns of patients with overactive bladder.Materials and Methods: A control group of 40 female volunteers were recruited by open advertisement. A further 24 female patients with overactive bladder were recruited from the urology outpatient department. Each participant completed the UDI-6 (Urinary Distress Inventory, Short Form), the IIQ-7 (Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, Short Form) and a 3-day sensation related bladder diary.Results: The proportion of urgent voids in the control group increased with increasing voided volume and bladder filling rates (each p
