NCT ID NCT06796985

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether using a special muscle-mapping device to guide Botox injections can better relieve chronic pelvic floor pain in women compared to the standard injection method. Researchers will enroll 30 women with long-term pelvic pain and give them two rounds of Botox injections. The goal is to see if the precision-guided approach reduces muscle tightness and pain more effectively.

What this could lead to

If this works, it could offer a more effective, targeted way to use Botox for chronic pelvic pain, potentially improving relief for many women.

What could go wrong
