NCT ID NCT05227937
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a single injection of the antibiotic amikacin can effectively treat uncomplicated bladder infections in women visiting the emergency department. Instead of taking pills for several days, participants receive one shot into a muscle or vein. The goal is to see if this approach resolves symptoms in over 80% of patients, offering a faster and simpler treatment option.
