The Impact of Injection Location on the Efficacy of Intravesicular Onabotulinumtoxin A in Interstitial Cystitis--Phase 4
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Onabotulinumtoxin A, injections upper aspect of trigone of urinary bladder, and 1 other intervention for Interstitial Cystitis. Completed, enrolled 27 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to identify the optimal usage of Onabotulinumtoxin A in interstitial cystitis. Onabotulinumtoxin A, more commonly known by the trade name Botox®, is a medication that comes from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It works by blocking the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine(a chemical messenger that carries signals between nerve cells and other cells in the body). Blocking that neurotransmitter results in decreased muscle activity.

Interventions
100 units of botox spread out among 10 separate injections
We hypothesize that injections into the trigone should be more effective in the treatment of IC than injections elsewhere in the bladder.
