PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 30 patients with urge urinary incontinence who were treated with PTNS; 24-h bladder diaries and QoL questionnaires (Short Form, SF-36, and incontinence-specific QoL) were completed at baseline and after PTNS. RESULTS: There was a significant correlation (P or = two pads/day before their QoL improves, and this might be the best definition of successful therapy for patients with urge urinary incontinence
