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 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 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 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 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 trial tests a new system that uses special measurements to guide injections of botulinum toxin (Botox) into pelvic floor muscles to reduce chronic pelvic pain in women with interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome.
