Transvaginal Botulinum Toxin A Chemodenervation for Overactive Bladder

Status:
Completed
Trial end date:

Target enrollment:

Participant gender:
Female
Summary
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a highly prevalent disease process that, when refractory to oral medication therapy, can be effectively managed with injection of botulinum toxin A (BTA) into the detrusor muscle of the bladder. However, the traditional procedure requires a cystoscope inserted into the bladder which can be painful and is associated with a risk of urinary tract infection. The purpose of this study is to determine if transvaginal injection of BTA into the detrusor muscle of the bladder wall is feasible to perform, and efficacious for the treatment of refractory overactive bladder.
