Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine if Botox injections will provide relief
from chronic testicular pain. In the study, the spermatic cord of particpants will be
injected with either Botox or a placebo of saline. Botox is currently used to treat other
urological conditions like overactive bladder and lower urinary tract problems. For these
conditions, Botox works by relaxing muscles in the affected areas. The investigators believe
that Botox will act similarly in the treatment chronic testicular pain.
