Summary

This study tests whether injecting Botox into the bladder wall during a standard prostate surgery (HoLEP) can better control overactive bladder symptoms like sudden urges to urinate and leakage. About 66 men aged 18-89 with these symptoms will be randomly assigned to get Botox or a placebo during surgery. Researchers will track symptom improvement and side effects for several months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to reduce urgent, frequent urination and leakage in men already undergoing prostate surgery, improving their quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-to-mid-stage trial, so results may not apply to all men. Risks include temporary urinary retention, bleeding, or infection after the procedure.
