Patient information material
Target number of participants 32
Interventions Baseline: voiding diary, urodynamics, quality of life (QoL) questionnaires.
Flexible cystoscopy and 3 bladder biopsies followed by injection of either 200 u of botulinum toxin A (20 injections at 10 u/ml/site) versus placebo (normal saline 20 injections at 1 ml/site.
Follow-up: At 4 and 12 weeks: urodynamics, voiding diary, flexible cystoscopy and 3 bladder biopsies, QoL questionnaires.
At 3 months patients are unblinded. Those that received placebo will be offered Botulinum toxin treatment.
Follow-up will be extended to confirm longevity of treatment. A further follow-up time point of 6 months will be instigated collecting the same data as at 4 and 12 weeks.
Primary outcome measure(s) 1. Urinary frequency/24 hours
2. Maximum cystometric capacity
Secondary outcome measure(s) 1. Urinary urgency/24 hours
2. Urge incontinence/24 hours
3. QoL: 3 validated QoL questionnaires (KHQ, UDI6, IIQ7)
4. Urodynamic variables:
4.1. time to first invluntary detrusor contraction
4.2. maximum detrusor pressure on filling/voiding
4.3. post void residual
Sources of funding 1. British Urological Foundation (UK)
