Background: A randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority clinical study was performed on the efficacy and tolerability of IncobotulinumtoxinA (Incobot/A) vs. OnabotulinumtoxinA (OnabotA) intradetrusor injections in patients with refractory neurogenic detrusor overactivity incontinence performing intermittent catheterization.
Methods: Sixty-four patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) or multiple sclerosis were randomized to receive 30 intradetrusor injections of Incobot/A or OnabotA 200 U; 28 patients in incobotulinumtoxinA group and 29 in onabotulinumtoxinA group completed the study. Primary outcome measure was the non-inferior variation from baseline in daily urinary incontinence episodes (week 12), with a non-inferiority margin of one episode/day. Secondary outcomes measures were changes in Incontinence- Quality of Life questionnaire, Visual Analog Scale Score (bother of symptoms on Quality of Life), urodynamic parameters, occurrence of adverse effects and related costs (week 12).
Results: At week 12, mean value of difference in urinary incontinence episodes/day between the two groups was -0.2 (95% two-sided CI: -1; 0.7); the difference in incontinence episodes/day between the two groups was -0.4 with a higher limit of one-sided 95% CI of 0.2 episodes/day which was much lower than the non-inferiority margin of one episode/day. Total score and subscores of Incontinence- Quality of Life questionnaire, Visual Analog Scale scores and urodynamics did not show differences between the two groups. Adverse effects were similar for both treatments, with urinary tract infection being the most frequent, localised effect. Minor costs were observed following Incobot/A.
Conclusions: In patients with refractory neurogenic incontinence due to SCI or multiple sclerosis, incobotulinumtoxinA was not inferior to onabotulinumtoxinA in improving clinical and urodynamic findings in the short-term follow-up, with comparable adverse effects but minor costs.

Urodynamic Changes Following Fewer Injection Sites of Intravesical Botulinum Toxin in Idiopathic Detrusor Overactivity: A Double-Blinded Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial.
Int Urogynecol J

Department of Urology, Hasheminejad Kidney Center, School of Medicine, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Introduction And Hypothesis: This study was aimed at evaluating the therapeutic effects of a modified intravesical botulinum toxin injection technique (fewer injection sites under local anesthesia), in comparison with the conventional technique for patients with idiopathic detrusor overactivity, considering the urodynamic parameters.
Methods: In this double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 78 adult females with idiopathic detrusor overactivity were divided into two groups: conventional and modified groups. In the conventional method, patients received intradetrusor botulinum toxin injection at 20 sites under general or spinal anesthesia in a trigone-sparing fashion.
A 55-year-old female attended the Outpatient Urology Department for local anaesthetic flexible cystoscopy and intradetrusor botulinum toxin A injection. Having been diagnosed with urodynamics-proven low-grade detrusor overactivity in 2017, she was well-established on six-monthly Botox® injections. As part of her ongoing treatment, 100 units of Allergan Botox diluted with saline in a 10 mL syringe were injected via 20 punctures.

Materials And Methods: Women, age 40 to 79 years, with OAB and urge urinary incontinence who were refractory to OAB medications were randomized to single-dose URO-902 24 and 48 mg or placebo administered by intradetrusor injection by cystoscopy under local anesthesia. Efficacy end points included change from baseline to week 12 in mean daily micturitions, urgency episodes, urge urinary incontinence episodes, and patient-reported outcomes.
A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study of Antibiotics for OnabotulinumtoxinA.
Urogynecology (Phila)

From the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA.
Importance: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common complication of intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) injection. Despite this, there are no evidence-based guidelines on antibiotic prophylaxis.
Objectives: Our primary aim was to determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis decreased symptomatic, culture-proven UTI rates within 6 weeks of intradetrusor BTX-A injection.

Overactive bladder (OAB) significantly impairs quality of life in the elderly. Although the intradetrusor injection of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) is a treatment option, its effects on older adults remain uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BoNT-A intradetrusor injections in elderly OAB patients through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
