Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?The goal of this clinical trial is to see if patients deciding their own follow up times can increase the effectiveness of botulinum toxin (BTX or "Botox") injection for overactive bladder (OAB). The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does the time between repeat injections differ from the 6-month standard when it is based on patient symptoms alone?
* Does symptom control or patient satisfaction change when patients control their own follow up times?
Participants will undergo standard botulinum toxin injection into the bladder for OAB treatment and will then be randomly assigned to follow up either at a standard 6-month interval or whenever they feel their symptoms return.
Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for individuals with overactive bladder and related urinary issues who have previously responded to botulinum toxin injections. Participants will decide when they need follow-up treatments rather than following a standard schedule.Inclusion Criteria
I am considering or planning to receive Botox injections in my bladder.
Exclusion Criteria
I have been diagnosed with conditions like pelvic pain or interstitial cystitis, not OAB.
Treatment Details
The study tests if patient-directed follow-up times for botulinum toxin injections into the bladder are more effective than the usual 6-month interval in managing symptoms of overactive bladder.
