Botox shot during prostate surgery may calm bladder woes
NCT ID NCT07377929
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether injecting Botox into the bladder during standard prostate surgery (TURP or Aquablation) can reduce bothersome symptoms like frequent or urgent urination after the operation. Twenty men with an enlarged prostate and overactive bladder will be enrolled. Researchers will track urinary retention, symptom scores, and hospital stays for 12 weeks after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to ease post-surgery bladder symptoms for men with BPH.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply widely. Adding Botox could also raise the risk of urinary retention or longer hospital stays.
