Numbing methods for Botox in the bladder for overactive bladder
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 different amounts of a numbing medicine (lidocaine) placed in the bladder before Botox injections, to find which dose gives the most pain relief during the procedure. It aims to make the treatment more comfortable for women with overactive bladder or neurogenic bladder.
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 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 trial tests whether breathing nitrous oxide (laughing gas) during in-office bladder Botox injections reduces pain and discomfort. If you are scheduled for this procedure, this study may help make it more comfortable.
This study looks at adults with overactive bladder (OAB) to learn more about the condition. It aims to help doctors understand different types of OAB and improve treatment.
