Study Summary
This trial aims to see if using 5 Botox injection sites instead of 15-20 can provide relief of UUI symptoms. Hypothesis: 5-site protocol is as good as the standard.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking women over 21 with urgency urinary incontinence, who have not had Botox injections for this condition before. They must be willing to possibly use a catheter and follow the study's procedures. Excluded are those with certain medical conditions, previous pelvic surgeries, or untreated UTIs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to see if fewer Botox injection sites (5 instead of the standard 15-20) will be just as effective in reducing episodes of urgency urinary incontinence. Participants will receive an equal amount of Botox but at different numbers of injection sites.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from Botox may include pain at the injection site, urinary tract infections, difficulty urinating, and possible need for temporary catheterization due to weakened bladder muscles.
