Study summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether using belladonna \& opiate suppositories (B\&Os) can improve patient discomfort during Onabotulinumtoxin A (BoNT) injection into the bladder for treatment of overactive bladder, neurogenic detrusor overactivity, or interstitial cystitis.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Bladder Injection Pain

    The primary outcome will be calculated difference in numeric rating scale (NRS) pain score prior to procedure and midway through procedure. Scale is one question and has a range from a score of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Measure will be reported as the intraoperative pain score minus the preoperative pain score.

    Time frame: Baseline and intraoperative

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pre-analgesia Pain Score

    Measured using NRS. Scale is one question and has a range from a score of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).

    Time frame: Baseline

  2. Post-operative Pain Score

    Measured using NRS. Scale is one question and has a range from a score of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).

    Time frame: Postoperative (within 10 minutes of the end of the BoNT procedure)

  3. Number of Participants Declining to Complete Procedure Due to Pain Intolerance

    Number of patients that decline to proceed with entire procedure (20 injections) due to pain or discomfort.

    Time frame: Intraoperative

  4. Postoperative Voiding Trial Results

    Distribution of patients with postoperative volume in ml of post-void residual urine obtained via catheter greater than 200ml.

    Time frame: Postoperative (before leaving the clinic, within 3 hours of the end of the BoNT procedure)

  5. Post Void Residual (PVR)

    Distribution of patients with volume in ml of post-void residual urine obtained via catheter greater than 200 ml at 2-week follow-up appointment.

    Time frame: 2 Weeks

  6. Number of Participants With Evidence of Infection or Positive Urine Culture

    Urinalysis results showing evidence of infection or positive urine culture at 2-week follow-up appointment.

    Time frame: 2 Weeks

  7. Participant Satisfaction With Pain Control

    Measured using one question Likert scale. This will be a 4-level scale ranging from 'not at all satisfied,' 'slightly satisfied,' 'mostly satisfied,' and 'very much satisfied.'

    Time frame: Postoperative (within 10 minutes of the end of the BoNT procedure)

Results

Posted Sep 20, 2018

Participant flow

Recruitment began December 1, 2015 at a private urogynecology clinic. There were 32 patients that were assessed for eligibility. Four patients were excluded: three patients did not meet inclusion criteria (did not proceed with in-office treatment) and one patient declined to participate due to wanting the active suppository.
