Platelet-rich plasma vs botox for stubborn overactive bladder
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have had urgent, frequent, or nighttime urination for at least 6 months
- Standard bladder medications have not worked for you for at least 6 months
- You are willing to fill out bladder diaries, surveys, and undergo bladder testing
- You do not have a current bladder infection, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions that could interfere

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.
This study is testing if an injection of your own platelet-rich plasma into the bladder can help with overactive bladder. The goal is to find a new treatment option for people who have not found relief from other treatments.
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 Botox injections work better than a combination of medicines (anti-muscarinics plus a beta-3 medicine) for people whose overactive bladder symptoms did not improve with one medicine alone. It may help by improving bladder control and reducing urgent, hard-to-hold urine leaks or frequent urination.
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 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.
