The management of urinary incontinence (UI) in older adults requires careful consideration of evidence that supports treatment. This session discusses promising new modalities in the treatment for older adults, including neuromodulation. First-line treatment strategies are presented, along with an in-depth review of current and future pharmacologic options. For patients with UI and excessive moisture skin damage, new evidence-based guidelines of UI-associated skin damage are reviewed. Other potential skin damage differential diagnoses with treatment guidelines are also provided.
