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.
