The “cough wave pattern” which generated by different alternative approaches in the same urodynamic study process. *The red arrow indicates the “cough wave pattern” induced by the first time “pressing quickly on the bladder area”; the black arrow indicates the “cough wave pattern” induced by the second time “pressing quickly on the bladder area”; the Valsalva marker indicates the “wave pattern” induced by doing Valsalva maneuver. All the “cough” markers induced by letting the patient close their mouth while doing the “cough test”
