Personality testing in 226 patients with urinary incontinence.

Two hundred and twenty-six female patients undergoing investigation for urinary incontinence completed the Eysenck Personality Inventory questionnaire. The results of the questionnaire were correlated with the symptomatology and urodynamic findings. Incontinence and neuroticism were found to be related. No special relationship was found between neuroticism and detrusor overactivity, although this has been reported in other smaller series.
