Botulinum toxin for overactive bladder in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if botulinum toxin A injections can help control overactive bladder symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease who haven't gotten enough relief from standard bladder medications. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares the usual amount of Botox injected into the bladder versus a smaller amount. It aims to see whether fewer injections can reduce overactive bladder symptoms with fewer side effects, like trouble emptying the bladder.
This study compares two ways to numb the bladder before a Botox injection for overactive bladder: local anesthesia (numbing medicine in the bladder) versus sedoanalgesia (medication to relax and reduce pain). The goal is to see which method works better and makes patients more comfortable.
This study tests whether a medication called mirabegron, a behavioral program, or both can improve urinary symptoms (like urgency and leakage) in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you have better bladder control and daily comfort.
This study tests whether telemonitoring (checking in remotely) can help people who have already had Botox injections for bladder overactivity. The goal is to see if it improves symptoms and quality of life without extra clinic visits.
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 tests whether adding a Botox shot into the bladder during HoLEP surgery helps men with overactive bladder symptoms like urgency, frequent urination, and accidents. You’d be compared to the standard approach to see if symptoms improve after surgery.
