What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of botulinum toxin type A bladder injections compared to a combination of Mirabegron and Solifenacin in patients with detrusor overactivity who have not responded to single-drug treatments. Participants will be divided into two groups, receiving either the Botox injection or the combined pharmacotherapy. The study will assess both subjective symptoms related to incontinence and objective measures such as urinary urgency and bladder capacity. Evaluations will be conducted using standardized questionnaires and urodynamic assessments.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with detrusor overactivity who have not found relief from monotherapy with anti-muscarinics or β3-adrenoceptor agonists.

Not a fit: Patients with postvoid urine retention prior to treatment may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a more effective treatment option for patients suffering from refractory overactive bladder.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with botulinum toxin for overactive bladder, indicating that this approach has been tested and may be effective.
