Bladder microbiome study for women with overactive bladder getting Botox
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether taking a medication called methenamine hippurate (a pill for preventing UTIs) after Botox bladder injections can help reduce the risk of urinary tract infections. It may be a good option for women and non-binary people with overactive bladder who are already getting Botox treatment.
This trial tests whether using TENS (a mild electrical stimulation device placed on the shin) can reduce pain and anxiety during a bladder Botox injection for overactive bladder. If you are having this procedure, TENS might help you feel 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 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 compares the effect of Botox injections into the bladder versus standard care (without injections) on sexual function in women with bladder pain syndrome. It aims to see if Botox can improve both pain and sexual health.
This study looks at how much discomfort you have after receiving bladder Botox injections, comparing a smaller (5) dose vs a larger (20) dose. It’s only for certain overactive bladder conditions and specifically when the procedure is done without sedation or special anesthesia.
