Preventing UTIs after Botox for neurogenic bladder
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) around the time of bladder Botox can prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in people whose bladder problems are caused by nerve conditions. It may help lower the chance of infection after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older) with overactive bladder caused by a neurologic condition (for example MS, Parkinson’s, spinal cord injury, or stroke).
- You can read, speak, and write in English.
- You can safely receive Botox, meaning no known Botox allergy and you are able/willing to do catheter use (CIC) if needed after the injection.
- You can safely take ciprofloxacin by mouth (no allergy to ciprofloxacin/related antibiotics, and you are not taking tizanidine or agomelatine).
- You are not taking any antibiotics for any reason right before your Botox appointment.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have an active, symptomatic UTI on the day of the procedure.

This trial studies whether taking an antibiotic around the time of bladder Botox can lower the risk of urinary infections. It’s for women with overactive bladder who tried standard medicines but didn’t get enough relief.
This study tests whether taking a low-dose antibiotic (nitrofurantoin) before a Botox bladder injection can help prevent urinary tract infections. You may be able to join if you are getting Botox for overactive bladder or painful bladder syndrome and do not have frequent UTIs or other health issues that would make the antibiotic unsafe.
This study looks at whether giving antibiotics (or not) before bladder Botox injections can reduce later urinary infections in people with nerve-related bladder problems. It focuses on people who have bacteria in the urine but no symptoms, using bladder self-catheterization as their main bladder management.
This study looks at whether taking antibiotic medicine before bladder Botox reduces infection risk or complications. It’s for adults having bladder Botox treatments and who can safely take antibiotics by mouth.
This study looks at whether taking antibiotics shortly before bladder Botox injections affects outcomes for people with overactive bladder. It aims to clarify what to do about antibiotic use before treatment.
This study looks at the bacteria in the bladders of women with overactive bladder who are getting Botox injections. It aims to understand how these bacteria might affect treatment results.
