Summary
Urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) is common in older people and vastly reduces quality of
life, yet the cause and mechanism of disease are not well understood. This study will
investigate the role of adding behavioral sleep intervention to the standard pharmacotherapy
in treatment of UUI among older adults, and the brain mechanisms involved in continence by
evaluating brain changes. This will expand the current knowledge of how the sleep affects
bladder control, and better characterize the brain mechanisms in maintaining continence.
