Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the potential role of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), altered perception of bodily sensations, and somatization in the etiology of overactive bladder (OAB).

Methods: A total of 124 participants were included in the study. The case group consisted of 63 female patients diagnosed with OAB, and the control group comprised 61 age-matched healthy females. Demographic data were collected from all participants. All participants completed the OAB Questionnaire-V8 (OABQ-V8), Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire-44 (OBQ-44), Body Sensations Questionnaire (BSQ), and Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS).

Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of age, education, or marital status. The OAB group demonstrated significantly higher scores on the OABQ-V8, OBQ-44, BSQ, and SSAS. Furthermore, the OABQ-V8 score exhibited a significant positive correlation with the OBQ-44, BSQ, and SSAS scores.

Conclusion: This study offers a new perspective on the psychological aspects of OAB, suggesting that OAB symptoms may result from heightened bodily sensations and subsequent somatization associated with OCD.

膀胱过度活动综合征病因的新视角——膀胱过度活动综合征是否与强迫症导致的躯体感觉改变有关？病例对照研究。

目的：本研究旨在探讨强迫症（OCD）、身体感觉知觉改变和躯体化在膀胱过动症（OAB）病因中的潜在作用。方法：共纳入124名受试者。病例组由63名诊断为OAB的女性患者组成，对照组由61名年龄匹配的健康女性组成。收集了所有参与者的人口统计数据。所有被试均完成了OAB问卷- v8 （OABQ-V8）、强迫信念问卷-44 （OBQ-44）、身体感觉问卷（BSQ）和体感放大量表（SSAS）。结果：两组患者在年龄、教育程度、婚姻状况等方面无统计学差异。OAB组在OABQ-V8、OBQ-44、BSQ和SSAS上得分显著高于对照组。此外，OABQ-V8得分与OBQ-44、BSQ和SSAS得分呈显著正相关。结论：本研究为OAB的心理方面提供了一个新的视角，表明OAB症状可能是由与强迫症相关的身体感觉增强和随后的躯体化引起的。

Specifically, fundamental science includes the most influential research papers from all fields of science and technology, revolutionizing what physicians and researchers practicing the art of neurourology worldwide know. Thus, we welcome valuable basic research articles to introduce cutting-edge translational research of fundamental sciences to clinical neurourology. In the editorials, urologists will present their perspectives on these articles. The original mission statement of the INJ was published on October 12, 1997. INJ provides authors a fast review of their work and makes a decision in an average of three to four weeks of receiving submissions. If accepted, articles are posted online in fully citable form.
