Abstract:
Injection of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) seems to have a positive therapeutic effect in multiple urological conditions, including detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia, voiding dysfunction, painful pelvic floor, bladder overactivity, frequency-urgency syndrome, interstitial cystitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and be thought as a novel and promising treatment for a variety of lower urinary tract dysfunctions within the urological field. However, there is a long way to go to assess the clinical efficacy of this form by randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled trials.
