Early Phase 1
Suspended
Conditions
Stress Urinary Incontinence
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04984317
Lead Sponsor
Northwell Health
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of onabotulinumtoxin A (BOTOX) injection into the detrusor muscle on increasing bladder compliance to reduce urinary leakage in women suffering from stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Detailed Description

The study involves a single-time injection of 100 units of onabotulinumtoxin A into the detrusor muscle of the bladder. Cystoscopy, which is the insertion of a scope with a small camera inside a tube into the participant's urethra. Then the doctor fills the participant's bladder with water or saline and sees detailed images of the injection site in the bladder while administrating the injection.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in the amount of urinary leakage post-treatment compared to baseline.Baseline, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month

1-hour pad weight, in grams

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety of 100U BOTOX injection as measured by the number of procedure-related adverse events.6-month

Adverse events may include organ perforation, bleeding, pelvic pain, infection, de novo dyspareunia, urinary retention, recurrent incontinence, other urinary problems and neuromuscular problems

Change in patient-reported symptoms of stress incontinence symptoms via PGI-I.1-month, 3-month, 6-month

The Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) scale is a scale that measures improvement in symptoms and ranges from 1-7, with 1 indicating very much improvement and higher scores indicating less improvement.

Assessment of patient satisfaction post-treatment via SSQ-8.1-month

The Surgical Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ-8) is a questionnaire about patient satisfaction after a surgery/procedure. Responses range from "Very unsatisfied" to "Very Satisfied".

Change in pain post-treatment compared to baseline via VAS.Baseline, Time of Procedure, 1-month

Scores are measured on a 100mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS ranges from 0 to 100 with 0 indicating no pain and higher scores indicating greater pain.

Change in quality of life impacted by urinary incontinence via UDI-6.Baseline, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month

The Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6) is an inventory that assess symptoms and urinary incontinence and its severity on a scale of 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. IIQ-7 is a 30-item self-report questionnaire on the impact of urinary incontinence on activities roles and emotional states. Assigned values of the questionnaire are 0 for "not at all," 1 for "slightly," 2 for "moderately," and 3 for "greatly.
