About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare methenamine hippurate prophylaxis to routine antibiotic prophylaxis following onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX-A) injections in women with overactive bladder (OAB). Participants will be randomly selected to receive one of the two post-procedural prophylaxis medications. The primary outcome measure will be urinary tract infection (UTI) rates within 30 days from the BOTOX-A procedure. Secondary outcomes will assess patient satisfaction with the two post-procedural prophylaxis medications.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Acute Urinary Tract Infection

Presence of a urinary tract infection (UTI) within 30 days from intradetrusor BOTOX-A injection. UTI will be defined as positive lower urinary tract symptoms (dysuria, hematuria, and/or worsened urinary urgency or frequency) and a positive urine culture.

Time frame
Date of the BOTOX-A injection to 30 days after the procedure

Secondary outcomes

1

Medication Satisfaction

We will administer the validated Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Treatment Satisfaction - General (FACIT-TS-G Version 4) survey assessing medication-related (i.e. typical antibiotic or methenamine hippurate) satisfaction and perceived adverse events over the phone \>30 days after intradetrusor BOTOX-A injection. The submission of the survey marks the conclusion of the participant's participation in the study.

Time frame
Completed over the phone >30 days after BOTOX-A injection.
