BOTOX® at the Time of Prolapse Surgery for OAB

Intravesical OnabotulinumtoxinA Injection at the Time of Prolapse Surgery for the Treatment of Overactive Bladder Syndrome: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of the study will be to assess the efficacy and safety of bladder BOTOX® for overactive bladder symptoms, such as urinary urgency and frequency, given at the time of prolapse surgery.

After being informed about the study and the potential risks, women scheduled for prolapse surgery will be screened for bothersome overactive bladder symptoms. Those that qualify and choose to enroll will be randomized to receive either bladder BOTOX® or a placebo at the time of their surgery. Neither the patient nor the investigators will know if the patient receives BOTOX® or a placebo. Subjects will complete questionnaires and bladder diaries both before and after surgery to determine efficacy and patient satisfaction. Potential adverse events, such as urinary tract infections and urinary retention, will be monitored throughout the study.
