Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study will be to assess the efficacy and safety of bladder BOTOX® for overactive bladder symptoms, such as urinary urgency and frequency, given at the time of prolapse surgery.
Detailed Description
After being informed about the study and the potential risks, women scheduled for prolapse surgery will be screened for bothersome overactive bladder symptoms. Those that qualify and choose to enroll will be randomized to receive either bladder BOTOX® or a placebo at the time of their surgery. Neither the patient nor the investigators will know if the patient receives BOTOX® or a placebo. Subjects will complete questionnaires and bladder diaries both before and after surgery to determine efficacy and patient satisfaction. Potential adverse events, such as urinary tract infections and urinary retention, will be monitored throughout the study.

Arms & Interventions
Intravesical OnabotulinumtoxinA
The treatment group will receive 100 units of BOTOX® reconstituted in 10mL of injectable preservative-free normal saline at the time of cystoscopy. An injection cystoscopy needle will be set to 3mm and used to inject 0.5mL reconstituted OnabotulinumtoxinA at each injection site, approximately 1cm apart along the posterior bladder wall, for a total of 20 injection sites (4 rows of 5 injection sites). This will be the only treatment.
Intervention: OnabotulinumtoxinA 100 UNT
Placebo
Subjects randomized to the placebo group will undergo the same procedure but will only receive 10mL of injectable preservative-free normal saline. This will be the only treatment.
Intervention: Injectable saline
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from baseline to postoperative weeks 6 to 12 in Overactive Bladder bother short form (OAB-q SF) questionnaire looking for a decrease of 10 points, which is the minimally important difference.
Time Frame: From baseline (time of enrollment) to 6-12 weeks postoperatively
The OAB-q SF is a validated 6 item questionnaire that is scored and reported on a 0 to 100 point scale with increasing scores indicating more bother.
Secondary Outcomes
- Patient Global Impression of Improvement Scale (PGI-I) at 6 to 12 weeks postoperatively.(At 6-12 weeks postoperatively)
- Change from baseline to postoperative weeks 6 to 12 in Patient Global Impression of Severity Scale (PGI-S).(From baseline (time of enrollment) to 6-12 weeks postoperatively)
- Urinary retention(From 2 weeks postoperatively to 12 weeks postoperatively)
- Urinary tract infection(From time of treatment to 12 weeks postoperative)
- Change from baseline to postoperative weeks 6 to 12 in the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire short form (PISQ-12).(From baseline (time of enrollment) to 6-12 weeks postoperatively)
