Abstract
Sensory urgency describes patients complaining of urinary urgency but without demonstrable detrusor instability. The International Continence Society [1] has defined urgency as a strong desire to void accompanied by fear of leakage or fear of pain, which may be associated with two types of detrusor dysfunction: urgency with overactive detrusor dysfunction is motor urgency, whereas urgency with detrusor hypersensitivity is sensory urgency. The problem remains of defining what exactly is meant by detrusor hypersensitivity but many authors have investigated patients with urinary urgency unaccompanied by objective evidence of detrusor instability and a number of terms have been used — primary vesical sensory urgency [2], urge syndrome [3] and sensory urge incontinence [4].
