Best numbing dose for Botox bladder injections
Part of Brain & nervous system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have bladder problems that haven't improved with other treatments, such as strong urges to urinate, frequent urination, or a neurogenic bladder (a bladder affected by nerve damage).
- You do not currently have a urinary tract infection that hasn't been treated.
- You are not allergic to Botox or lidocaine (a numbing agent).
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant within the next 6 months.

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 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 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 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.
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 compares two treatments for overactive bladder (OAB) that hasn't improved with standard medications: injections of platelet-rich plasma (a substance from your own blood) versus botulinum toxin (Botox). Both are injected into the bladder to help reduce urgency and leakage.
