Botulinum toxin reduces bladder overactivity

Trial ID
NCT05997043
Official Title
Safety and Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin A for Treatment of Overactive Bladder in Parkinson's Disease:Randomized Controlled Trial
Goal
Botulinum toxin reduces bladder overactivity
Phase
EARLY_PHASE1
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
Zhujiang Hospital
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Enrollment
60 participants
Conditions
Parkinson's Disease, Overactive Bladder, Onabotulinumtoxin A
Interventions
oral anti-Parkinson drugs and injection of botulinum toxin, oral anti-Parkinson's drugs

Plain-Language Summary

They are testing whether injecting onabotulinumtoxinA into the bladder can safely reduce overactive bladder symptoms, like urgency, frequency, and leaking, in people with Parkinson's whose symptoms are not controlled by anticholinergic drugs. OnabotulinumtoxinA blocks acetylcholine release from nerves in the bladder wall, calming involuntary detrusor muscle contractions; the injections act locally in the bladder and do not change how levodopa works in the brain, and participants remain on their usual dopaminergic medications. Adults 25 to 80 with idiopathic Parkinson's and persistent overactive bladder despite anticholinergics can join, provided they can consent and are willing to use intermittent catheterization if needed, while people with significant urinary retention, glaucoma or myasthenia gravis, prior urinary botulinum treatment, dementia, or certain meds like anticoagulants or neuromuscular blockers are excluded.

Locations
