Botox shot during prostate op eases overactive bladder
NCT ID NCT07554989
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 70 men with an enlarged prostate and overactive bladder symptoms. Some received a Botox injection into the prostate during surgery, while others took standard medication after surgery. The Botox group showed better symptom scores at 12 weeks, suggesting a potential benefit. However, the study is small and retrospective, so more research is needed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Botulinum toxin-A (Botox) injection into the prostate
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more effective one-time treatment for overactive bladder symptoms in men undergoing prostate surgery, reducing the need for long-term medication.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small retrospective study (70 patients) with no randomization, so results may not apply to everyone. The injection adds a procedure with potential risks like pain or infection, and long-term benefits beyond 12 weeks are unknown.
