Scientific title
Study objectivesBotulinum toxin A at 200 units will improve urinary frequency, urgency and incontinence episodes, urodynamic variables and quality of life compared with placebo.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedOveractive bladder symptoms and idiopathic detrusor overactivity.
InterventionBaseline: voiding diary, urodynamics, quality of life (QoL) questionnaires.
Flexible cystoscopy and 3 bladder biopsies followed by injection of either 200 u of botulinum toxin A (20 injections at 10 u/ml/site) versus placebo (normal saline 20 injections at 1 ml/site.
Follow-up: At 4 and 12 weeks: urodynamics, voiding diary, flexible cystoscopy and 3 bladder biopsies, QoL questionnaires.
At 3 months patients are unblinded. Those that received placebo will be offered Botulinum toxin treatment.
Follow-up will be extended to confirm longevity of treatment. A further follow-up time point of 6 months will be instigated collecting the same data as at 4 and 12 weeks.
