Adverse Effects of Intravesical OnabotulinumtoxinA Injection in Patients with Idiopathic Overactive Bladder or Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Studies. Toxins (Basel) 2024; 16:343. [PMID: 39195753 PMCID: PMC11359369 DOI: 10.3390/toxins16080343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2024] [Revised: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite the efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA, its safety profile remains a concern. This meta-analysis reviewed the major adverse events (AEs) associated with intravesical onabotulinumtoxinA treatment in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) and idiopathic overactive bladder (iOAB). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted between January 2000 and December 2022 were searched for adult patients administered different onabotulinumtoxinA dosages or onabotulinumtoxinA vs. placebo. Quality assessment was performed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool, and statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager version 5.3. A total of 26 RCTs were included in the analysis, including 8 on NDO and 18 on iOAB. OnabotulinumtoxinA vs. placebo significantly increased the urinary tract infection (UTI) incidence in patients with NDO (relative risk, or RR, 1.54) and iOAB (RR, 2.53). No difference in the RR with different onabotulinumtoxinA dosages was noted. Urinary retention was frequent with onabotulinumtoxinA use in the NDO (RR, 6.56) and iOAB (RR, 7.32) groups. Similar observations were made regarding the risks of de novo clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). The risk of voiding difficulty increased with onabotulinumtoxinA use in patients with iOAB. Systemic AEs of onabotulinumtoxinA, including muscle weakness (RR, 2.79) and nausea (RR, 3.15), were noted in patients with NDO; most systemic AEs had a low incidence and were sporadic.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of Onabotulinum toxin A (OBTX-A) treatment for neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. SETTING Iran. METHODS All relevant articles of clinical trials and cohort studies indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to September 6, 2022, that addressed OBTX-A treatment for NDO following SCI were included. The quality of eligible studies was evaluated using Cochrane criteria. Also, the weighted mean difference (WMD) was measured with a random-effect model. RESULTS Regarding the overall efficacy after OBTX-A treatment in the short term, volume per void (VV) (WMD = 118.8, 95% CI: 90.9-146.7, p < 0.01), incontinence-quality of life (IQoL) (WMD = 24.3, 95% CI: 15.8-32.8, p < 0.01), and maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) (WMD = 144.5, 95% CI: 132.3 to 156.7, p < 0.01) significantly increased, while maximum detrusor pressure during storage (MDP) (WMD = -30.5, 95% CI: -35.9 to -25.1, p < 0.01) showed a significant decrease. Furthermore, compared to the placebo group at the 200-unit dose, there was a significant increase in MCC (WMD = 113.5, 95% CI: 84.7 to 142.3, p < 0.01) and a significant decrease in MDP (WMD = -27.2, 95% CI: -39.2 to -15.1, p < 0.01). Urinary tract infection (UTI), hematuria, and autonomic dysreflexia were the most common side effects, occurring at rates of 29.6%, 14.8%, and 13.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION Our findings highlighted the effectiveness and safety of OBTX-A as a promising treatment of NDO following SCI.

Abstract
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), such as urgency, urinary incontinence, and/or difficulty voiding, hamper the quality of life (QoL) of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). If not managed adequately, urological complications, such as urinary tract infection or renal function deterioration, may further deteriorate the patient's QoL. Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection within the detrusor muscle or urethral sphincter yields satisfactory therapeutic effects for treating urinary incontinence or facilitating efficient voiding; however, adverse effects inevitably follow its therapeutic efficacy. It is important to weigh the merits and demerits of BoNT-A injection for LUTS and provide an optimal management strategy for SCI patients. This paper summarizes different aspects of the application of BoNT-A injection for lower urinary tract dysfunctions in SCI patients and provides an overview of the benefits and drawbacks of this treatment.

Wang X, Zhou Z, Liao L. The Comparative Effectiveness of Botulinum Toxin-A Injection Therapy Versus Augmentation Uretero-Enterocystoplasty for the Treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction. Int Neurourol J 2023; 27:36-46. [PMID: 37015723 PMCID: PMC10073004 DOI: 10.5213/inj.2244220.110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 04/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose: We investigated the effectiveness of intravesical botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) injection therapy in patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) and upper urinary tract (UUT) deterioration and evaluated whether BTX-A injection therapy could substitute for augmentation uretero-enterocystoplasty (AUEC).Methods: Data from a prospective, single-center cohort from 2017–2021 were analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 treatment groups: AUEC and BTX-A (i.e., patients who declined AUEC). Bladder and UUT functions were assessed by comparing clinical information, urodynamic data, laboratory results, and imaging records.Results: In total, 121 patients were enrolled (BTX-A group: 41 patients; AUEC group: 80 patients). The BTX-A group showed a reduced maximum detrusor pressure and increases in the maximum bladder volume and bladder compliance (P<0.05). However, in follow-up evaluations, significantly smaller improvements (all P<0.05) in urodynamic parameters were found in the BTX-A group than in the AUEC group. Notably, there was no significant improvement in vesicoureteral reflux (VUR; P=0.66) or upper urinary tract dilatation (UUTD; P=0.75) in the BTX-A group, and no statistically significant difference in serum creatinine (Scr) levels or the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was observed in the follow-up evaluations (all P>0.05). Both VUR and UUTD improved significantly in the AUEC group, and the Scr and eGFR levels significantly improved after AUEC relative to baseline levels (P<0.05). The reduction in the Scr level was significantly lower in the BTX-A group than in the AUEC group during 0–15 months of follow-up (Scr reduction differences, -1.36; P<0.01).Conclusions: Although BTX-A injection therapy was effective for improving bladder function, BTX-A injections did not alleviate UUT deterioration in this study, particularly in patients with advanced-stage LUTD. Conversely, AUEC for LUTD has a well-established role in improving UUT function. Hence, BTX-A injection therapy should not replace AUEC to ameliorate UUT impairment and protect UUT function.

Neurourol Urodyn 2023; 42:23-32. [PMID: 36378811 PMCID: PMC10092540 DOI: 10.1002/nau.25061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Revised: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intradetrusor BotulinumtoxinA (BTA) injections are recommended for patients with overactive bladder (OAB) refractory to lifestyle changes and medical intervention. It is preferable to perform injections using a flexible cystoscope under local anesthetic (LA) rather than under spinal or general anesthetic owing to the associated anesthetic risks, increased costs, and need for repeated inpatient admission. Injections under LA can be difficult to tolerate for some patients. This review aims to assess interventions that may improve the tolerability of intradetrusor BTA injections under LA. METHODS A systematic review was performed using Ovid of Embase + Embase classic and MEDLINE® ALL in November 2021. Articles were included if they reported objectively measured pain scores during LA intradetrusor BTA injections for refractory OAB. The risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane risk of bias tools. Meta-analysis was not performed owing to the heterogeneity of outcome measures. RESULTS Ten studies were included in this review with a total of 429 participants. The review identified alkalinized lidocaine, electromotive drug administration (EMDA), opiate suppositories, lidocaine bladder instillations, number of injections, and dose of BTA as interventions aimed at improving tolerability. CONCLUSION EMDA of intravesical alkalinized lidocaine, intravesical, alkalinized lidocaine without EMDA, and a reduction in the number of injection site were all associated with improvements in patient tolerability during LA BTA injections. Further research should address which subgroups of patients find the procedure most painful and would benefit most from these interventions.

Abstract
Bladder dysfunction is a common complication after chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). Patients may experience renal function loss, urinary tract infection (UTI), urolithiasis, bladder cancer, and even life-threatening events such as severe sepsis or renal failure. Suitable patient care may prevent UTI and urinary incontinence, decrease medication use, and preserve renal function. As the primary goal is to preserve renal function, management should be focused on facilitating bladder drainage, the avoidance of UTI, and the maintenance of a low intravesical pressure for continence and complete bladder emptying. Currently, several bladder management options are available to SCI patients: (1) reflex voiding; (2) clean intermittent catheterization; (3) indwelling catheterization. The target organ may be the bladder or the bladder outlet. The purposes of intervention include the following: (1) increasing bladder capacity and/or decreasing intravesical pressure; (2) increasing bladder outlet resistance; (3) decreasing bladder outlet resistance; (4) producing detrusor contractility; (5) urinary diversion. Different bladder management methods and interventions may have different results depending on the patient's lower urinary tract dysfunction. This review aims to report the current management options for long-term bladder dysfunction in chronic SCI patients. Furthermore, we summarize the most suitable care plans for improving the clinical outcome of SCI patients.

Abstract
Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction, common in patients with chronic spinal cord injury, inevitably results in urological complications. To address neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction after spinal cord injury, proper and adequate bladder management is important in spinal cord injury rehabilitation, with the goal and priorities of the protection of upper urinary tract function, maintaining continence, preserving lower urinary tract function, improvement of SCI patients' quality of life, achieving compatibility with patients' lifestyles, and decreasing urological complications. This concise review aims to help urologists address neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction by focusing on the risks of long-term urological complications and the effects of different bladder management strategies on these complications based on scientifically supported knowledge.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the long-term satisfaction and complications in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) patients after various bladder management strategies and surgical procedures for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Methods: Patients at a single institution with chronic SCI who received bladder management treatment or surgical procedure to improve urinary continence were retrospectively assessed. Thorough urological examinations and videourodynamic studies were performed. Patients were treated either through conservative approaches including medical treatment, clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), cystostomy, and indwelling urethral catheter, or through surgical procedures including detrusor botulinum toxin (Botox) injections, augmentation, ileal conduit, Kock pouch diversion, continent cystostomy, suburethral sling, and artificial urethral sphincter (AUS) implantation. The patients’ satisfaction with urinary continence improvement, causes of dissatisfaction, long-term complications, and overall satisfaction with bladder and voiding condition were assessed. Results: A total of 700 consecutive patients were enrolled in this study. High satisfaction rates were noted after detrusor Botox injection (81.1%), augmentation enterocystoplasty (91.4%), autoaugmentation (80%), Kock pouch diversion, and continent cystostomy (all 100%). Fair satisfaction rates were noted after ileal conduit diversion (66.7%), suburethral sling (64.3%), and AUS implantation (66.7%). Patients who received conservative treatment with medicines, CIC, cystostomy, or an indwelling urethral catheter all had less-satisfactory outcomes (all < 40%). Conclusion: Overall satisfaction with surgical procedures aimed to improve urinary continence in chronic SCI patients was higher than with conservative bladder management (35.4%). Appropriate surgical procedures for chronic SCI patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) and urological complications yielded satisfaction with both urinary continence improvement and with overall bladder and voiding condition.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treatment options for refractory neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in children include botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) and augmentation cystoplasty (AC). Although BTX-A is accepted in contemporary pediatric urologic practice, cost and long-term outcomes data for BTX-A are limited relative to the gold standard, AC. The purpose of this study was to compare the projected 10-year costs of AC versus BTX-A. METHODS We performed a cost analysis from the payer perspective by computationally modeling treatment sequences by a Markov model. In the model, we used probabilities derived from published sources, and costs obtained at a tertiary medical center. The base case was a pediatric patient with refractory NDO. In the model, we assumed biannual BTX-A treatments. Treatment costs over 10 years were compared between immediate AC versus bridging therapy with BTX-A. Using the computational model, we simulated 100,000 instances of 10-year treatment cost for each of the two treatment modalities. The costs for the two treatment approaches were then compared using t-test and Wilcoxon test. RESULTS The projected median and mean 10-year cost of immediately AC were $51,798.72 (95% CI [$51,798.72, $327,483.80]) and $123,473.4 (SD: $98,085.23) respectfully, while the projected median and mean 10-year cost of bridging therapy with BTX-A prior to proceeding to AC as needed were $74,552.46 (95% CI [$53,188.56, $309,913.07]) and $124,858.80 (SD: $84,495.35) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS For a typical index pediatric patient with NDO, bridging therapy with intravesical BTX-A is associated with an increased cost compared to immediate AC over a ten-year period.

Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) injection and augmentation enterocystoplasty (AE) are alternative and effective management strategies for neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) refractory to pharmacotherapy. A great majority of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) may, however, prefer BoNT-A injections to AE, due to the less invasive characteristics. In this study we evaluated the influence of various video-urodynamic study (VUDS) parameters in SCI patients who continuously received repeat BoNT-A detrusor injections or switched to AE to improve their bladder conditions. We compared the changes in the urodynamic parameters before and after each mode of treatment. In this retrospective study, all SCI patients with refractory NDO who had received at least one BoNT-A injection were enrolled. VUDS was performed before and after both BoNT-A injection and AE. All of the urodynamic parameters of the storage and micturition-including the bladder capacity of every sensation, maximal flow rate (Qmax), post-voiding residual volume, detrusor pressure at Qmax, and bladder contractility index-were recorded. A total of 126 patients, including 46 women and 80 men, with a mean age of 41.8 ± 13.1 years, were recruited for this study. All of the patients receiving either BoNT-A injection or AE had a statistically significant increase of bladder capacity at every time-point during filling and a decrease in detrusor pressure at Qmax during voiding. Patients who switched from BoNT-A to AE had greater improvements in their urodynamic parameters when compared with those who continued with BoNT-A injections. Accordingly, SCI patients receiving BoNT-A injections but experiencing few improvements in their urodynamic parameters should consider switching to AE to achieve a better storage function and bladder capacity.

Cui Y, Cai T, Dong T, Zhang X, Zhou Z, Lu Y, Zhang Y, Wu J, Gao Z, Wang Y, Dong L. Trigonal-Sparing vs. Trigonal-Involved OnabotulinumtoxinA Injection for the Treatment of Overactive Bladder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Front Neurol 2021; 12:651635. [PMID: 34690904 PMCID: PMC8531119 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.651635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a disease characterized by the presence of urinary urgency. We carried out a meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness and safety of trigonal-involved injection of onabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT-A) in comparison with the trigonal-sparing technique in cases with OAB [neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) and idiopathic detrusor overactivity (IDO)]. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of BoNT-A injection for OAB were searched systematically by using EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register. The datum was calculated by RevMan version 5.3.0. The original references of relating articles were also reviewed. Results: In total, six RCTs involving 437 patients were included in our analysis. For OAB, the trigone-including group showed a different patient symptom score (p = 0.03), complete dryness rate (p = 0.002), frequency of incontinence episodes (p = 0.01), detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate (p = 0.01), and volume at the first desire to void (p = 0.0004) compared with the trigone-sparing group. Also, a trigone-including intradetrusor injection demonstrated a significant improvement in the patient symptom score (p = 0.0004), complete dryness rate (p = 0.0002), frequency of incontinence episodes (p = 0.0003), detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate (p = 0.01), and volume at the first desire to void (p = 0.00006) compared with the trigone-sparing group for treatment of NDO. The adverse events rates were similar in both groups. Conclusions: The meta-analysis has demonstrated that trigone-including BoNT-A injection was more effective compared with the trigone-sparing injection for the treatment of OAB, especially for NDO.

A Systematic Review of Therapeutic Approaches Used in Experimental Models of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9080865. [PMID: 34440069 PMCID: PMC8389661 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9080865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 07/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a multifactorial, chronic bladder disorder with limited therapeutic options currently available. The present review provides an extensive overview of therapeutic approaches used in in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo experimental models of IC/BPS. Publications were identified by electronic search of three online databases. Data were extracted for study design, type of treatment, main findings, and outcome, as well as for methodological quality and the reporting of measures to avoid bias. A total of 100 full-text articles were included. The majority of identified articles evaluated therapeutic agents currently recommended to treat IC/BPS by the American Urological Association guidelines (21%) and therapeutic agents currently approved to treat other diseases (11%). More recently published articles assessed therapeutic approaches using stem cells (11%) and plant-derived agents (10%), while novel potential drug targets identified were proteinase-activated (6%) and purinergic (4%) receptors, transient receptor potential channels (3%), microRNAs (2%), and activation of the cannabinoid system (7%). Our results show that the reported methodological quality of animal studies could be substantially improved, and measures to avoid bias should be more consistently reported in order to increase the value of preclinical research in IC/BPS for potential translation to a clinical setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A), or Botox, is a popular option for overactive bladder (OAB) and neurogenic bladder (NGB) with or without incontinence. This review aims to discuss the clinical outcomes of BoNT in adult and pediatric bladder conditions, and introduces the potential benefit of novel, engineered neurotoxins beyond BoNT/A. RECENT FINDINGS A large volume of evidence supports the use of Botox for OAB (to reduce urgency, frequency and incontinence episodes), and for NGB (to decrease incontinence and improve bladder capacity and detrusor pressures). Botox is now also Food & Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for pediatric neurogenic detrusor overactivity. However, urinary retention, diminished response over time and treatment failures are prevalent issues with Botox. Modifying natural BoNTs or forming chimeric toxins are alternatives to BoNT/A that may have higher efficacy and lower side-effect profile. One example is BoNT/BMY-WW. This novel engineered toxin binds to a more commonly expressed synaptotagmin receptor, with potentially more potent paralytic effect and less capacity for systemic diffusion. SUMMARY Novel engineered neurotoxins may be the next frontier in OAB and NGB therapy.

Abstract
Patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) experience urinary incontinence with or without difficult urination, which might promote recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) and exacerbate upper urinary tract function. Nonetheless, appropriate bladder management has been shown to reduce urological complications and improve quality of life. In addition to pharmacological therapy and surgical intervention, botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) has been widely utilized in NLUTD. The therapeutic efficacy of detrusor BoNT-A injections for neurogenic detrusor overactivity due to spinal cord injury (SCI), multiple sclerosis, or other central nervous system lesions, such as cerebrovascular accident, Parkinson disease, early dementia, and pediatric NLUTD due to myelomeningocele, has been well established, with repeated BoNT-A injections every 6 to 9 months being necessary to maintain its therapeutic effects. Urethral BoNT-A injection can decrease urethral sphincter resistance and facilitate efficient voiding in patients with NLUTD who wish to preserve self-voiding. Detrusor BoNT-A injection can also decrease the occurrence of autonomic dysreflexia in patients with SCI, even after failed augmentation enterocystoplasty, with additional benefits including reduced UTI episodes and preserved renal function with repeated injections. However, this treatment does have some side effects. Complete informed consent for BoNT-A injection therapy with full disclosure of its potential complications should therefore be obtained before this procedure is undertaken.

Abstract
Context: Outpatient Spinal Cord Injury follow-up practice Findings: We present two cases of individuals with tetraplegia who experienced proximal arm weakness temporally related to the administration of intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA without other systemic effects. This arm weakness lasted approximately three months in both cases, whereas the effect of the toxin on the bladder lasted for over six months. In one of the cases, the pattern of proximal arm weakness after intravesicular botulinum toxin injection recurred after repeat injection. Conclusion: These cases represent a previously unreported phenomenon of proximal focal weakness associated with the use of intradetrusor chemodenervation. Possible mechanisms for these cases are discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS A large variety of agents are available for intravesical instillation treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of those agents. METHODS PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase were searched from database inception to February 2020 for randomized controlled trials. The language of publication was limited in English. Population, intervention, comparison, outcome, and study design was used to assess the eligible studies for inclusion and the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies included. The primary outcome was O'Leary-Sant Interstitial Cystitis Problem Index (ICPI) and O'Leary-Sant Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index (ICSI) improvement. RESULTS Eleven randomized controlled trials covering 8 agents with 902 patients were enrolled. According to the results of the ICPI and ICSI, 0.1 μM resiniferatoxin was more effective than other therapies. Combination therapy of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphate ranked second in ICSI, third in ICPI, and first in the visual analog scale (VAS). Among regimens included for complication comparison, chondroitin sulphate was safer than other agents, with a probability of 78.5%. CONCLUSIONS Resiniferatoxin (0.1 μM) is more effective at ICPI and ICSI improvement than other agents. More well-designed randomized controlled trials with a large sample size directly comparing the efficacy and safety of those agents are in need in the future to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) can induce neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), leading to urinary incontinence and renal damage due to low bladder compliance and high detrusor pressure during the storage and voiding of urine. In 2011, Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA, botulinum neurotoxin serotype A [BoNT-A]) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of NDO. Intradetrusor injection of BoNT-A has been shown to have clinical utility for the treatment of urinary incontinence, with consequent improvements in quality of life for patients. In the past 20 years, this treatment has been shown to be an effective treatment for patients with SCI refractory to antimuscarinic medication. The present review focused on publications in MEDLINE/PubMed relating to botulinum toxin to evaluate the treatment outcomes of repeated injection of BoNT-A, the mechanisms of action, results of clinical and urodynamic studies, and adverse effects.

Abstract
Introduction Recent investigations showed that anticholinergic drugs could use for the management of storage symptoms after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The use of intravesical botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) for the management of overactive bladder is rapidly increasing. In this research, we assess the efficacy of BTX-A vs solifenacin in men suffering from bladder outlet obstruction–over active bladder (BOO-OAB) managed with TURP. Methods In this case–control study, 50 men with BOO-OAB randomized into two groups. The control group (A) underwent TURP and subsequently managed by solifenacin 5 mg daily, and the case group (B) underwent TURP and BTX-A injection in the bladder wall in the same session. Treatment success was the primary outcome and defined as post-injection improvement in the storage score of the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) from baseline. Results The IPSS, post-void residual volume, frequency, incomplete emptying, nocturia and urgency subscores considerably ameliorated after 12 weeks and 36 weeks for both groups, but it was more significant in the case arm. The quality of life (QoL) scores significantly improved after the treatments in both groups. Intervention group showed significant reductions regarding urgency incontinence compared with the solifenacin group at 12th and 36th weeks. Conclusion BTX-A is an effective and well-tolerated treatment in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who are candidates of TURP and simultaneously suffer from OAB symptoms.

Abstract
Objectives To assess and compare the effect of transcutaneous Dorsal Genital Nerve Stimulation (DGNS), Tibial Nerve Stimulation (TNS), Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS), and Spinal Stimulation (SS) on Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity (NDO) and bladder capacity in people with Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI). Materials and Methods Seven male participants with supra-sacral SCI were tested. Standard cystometry (CMG) was performed to assess bladder activity at baseline and with stimulation applied at each site. This was conducted over four separate sessions. All stimulation was monophasic, 15 Hz, 200 μS pulses and applied at maximum tolerable amplitude. Results were analysed against individual control results from within the same session. Results Dorsal Genital Nerve Stimulation increased bladder capacity by 153 ± 146 ml (p = 0.016) or 117 ± 201%. DGNS, TNS and SNS all increased the volume held following the first reflex contraction, by 161 ± 175, 46 ± 62, and 34 ± 33 ml (p = 0.016, p = 0.031, p = 0.016), respectively. SS results showed small reduction of 33 ± 26 ml (p = 0.063) from baseline bladder capacity in five participants. Maximum Detrusor Pressure before leakage was increased during TNS, by 10 ± 13 cmH2O (p = 0.031) but was unchanged during stimulation of other sites. DGNS only was able to suppress at least one detrusor contraction in five participants and reduced first peak detrusor pressure below 40 cmH2O in these 5. Continuous TNS, SNS, and SS produced non-significant changes in bladder capacity from baseline, comparable to conditional stimulation. Increase in bladder capacity correlated with stimulation amplitude for DGNS but not TNS, SNS or SS. Conclusion In this pilot study DGNS acutely suppressed detrusor contractions and increased bladder capacity whereas TNS, SNS, and SS did not. This is the first within individual comparison of surface stimulation sites for management of NDO in SCI individuals.

Abstract
After decades of clinical and basic science research, the clinical application of botulinum toxin A (Botox) in urology has been extended to neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), idiopathic detrusor overactivity, refractory overactive bladder (OAB), interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), lower urinary tract symptoms, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and neurogenic or non-neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction in children. Botox selectively disrupts and modulates neurotransmission, suppresses detrusor overactivity, and modulates sensory function, inflammation, and glandular function. In addition to motor effects, Botox has been found to have sensory inhibitory effects and anti-inflammatory effects; therefore, it has been used to treat IC/BPS and OAB. Currently, Botox has been approved for the treatment of NDO and OAB. Recent clinical trials on Botox for the treatment of IC/BPS have reported promising therapeutic effects, including reduced bladder pain. Additionally, the therapeutic duration was found to be longer with repeated Botox injections than with a single injection. However, the use of Botox for IC/BPS has not been approved. This paper reviews the recent advances in intravesical Botox treatment for OAB and IC/BPS.

Abstract
Neurogenic bladder is a chronic condition affecting patients of all ages with significant medical and quality of life implications. Goals of treatment consist of protection of the upper urinary tract and promotion of reliable urinary continence. Successful management involves medications and most often bladder drainage via clean intermittent catheterization. This article reviews current literature on medical management to achieve goals of treatment.

Abstract
The use of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) has revolutionized the treatment of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) over the past three decades. Initially, it was used as a sphincteric injection for detrusor sphincter dyssynergia but now is used mostly as intradetrusor injection to treat neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO). Its use is supported by high-level-of-evidence studies and it has become the gold-standard treatment for patients with NDO refractory to anticholinergics. Several novelties have emerged in the use of BTX-A in neurourology over the past few years. Although onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX®, Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA) remains the only BTX-A for which use is supported by large, multicenter, randomized, controlled trials (RCT), and is therefore the only one to be licensed in the United States and Europe, a second BTX-A, abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport®, Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Basking Ridge, NJ), is also supported by high-level-of-evidence studies. Other innovations in the use of BTX-A in neurourology during the past few years include the BTX switch (from abobotulinumtoxinA to onabotulinumtoxinA or the opposite) as a rescue option for primary or secondary failures of intradetrusor BTX-A injection and refinements in intradetrusor injection techniques (number of injection sites, injection into the trigone). There is also a growing interest in long-term failure of BTX-A for NDO and their management, and a possible new indication for urethral sphincter injections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To prospectively compare the results of intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections and oral oxybutynin for urinary continence, urodynamic parameters and quality of life in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity due to spinal cord injury. METHODS Adult patients under intermittent catheterization were randomized 1:1 to receive one injection of onabotulinumtoxinA 300U or oxybutynin 5mg, per oris, three times/day. Primary study endpoint was change in urinary incontinence episodes/24 hours and secondary study endpoints were maximum cystometric capacity, maximum detrusor pressure, bladder compliance and quality of life before randomization and at week 24. RESULTS Sixty-eight patients participated in the trial. Significant improvements in urinary incontinence per 24 hours, all investigated urodynamic parameters and quality of life were observed in both groups. Compared with oral oxybutynin, onabotulinumtoxinA was significantly more efficacious for all parameters investigated. Non-response to treatment was higher for oral oxybutynin (23.5%) than onabotulinumtoxinA (11.8%). Dry mouth was the most common adverse in patients with oral oxybutynin (72%) and transient macroscopic hematuria in patients with onabotulinumtoxinA (28%). Only one patient with oral oxybutynin dropped out the study because of adverse effects. CONCLUSION The comparison of the two study drugs showed that onabotulinumtoxinA was significantly more efficacious than oral oxybutynin with regard to continence, urodynamic parameters and quality of life.

Abstract
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of onabotulinum toxin A in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder inadequately managed with anticholinergics.Materials and Methods A prospective, open-label, single centre, and interventional study was conducted, from 2008 to 2013, on consecutive patients with idiophatic overactive bladder that showed lack of efficacy or intolerance to anticholinergic agents.Results The study included 73 female patients aged 58.9 ± 12.9 years. A dose of 100 and 200 units of toxin were administered in 89 and 5 cases, respectively. Nineteen patients received a second injection, 8 patients received 3, and one patient was treated 4 times. Clinically, it was observed that 98% patients had urge urinary incontinence at baseline, as compared with 42% under treatment. Similar results were obtained regarding the number of pads used per day, from 2.8 at baseline to 0.5 after treatment as regards the urodynamic parameters, the first desire to void volume improved from 97 ± 63 mL to 139 ± 81 mL. Similar results were obtained as regards cystometric capacity and the volume of the first involuntary detrusor contraction. One patient had a positive urine culture resolved using a conventional oral antibiotic regimen. Intermittent catheterisation was required in 5 patients during the first week.Conclusions Onabotulinum toxin A injections significantly improved, not only the clinical symptoms, but also the urodynamic parameters in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder inadequately managed with anticholinergic drugs. This is a simple technique with minimal adverse effects and generally well tolerated.

Abstract
Bladder compliance is a measure of distensibility. Maladies such as myelodysplasia, myelomeningocele, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis and obstructive uropathy are known to decrease bladder compliance. Decrease in bladder compliance is a characteristic of neurogenic bladders. The pathophysiology of bladder compliance is complex but ultimately leads to high pressure during filling and storage phases. These high pressures lead to renal impairment, incontinence, and recurrent urinary tract infections. This review presents management of poorly compliant bladders with onabotulinumtoxinA.

Abstract
Clinical effectiveness of botulinum toxin (BTX) in the treatment of both neurogenic and idiopathic detrusor overactivity has been demonstrated in several studies. However, different protocols and techniques have been used by authors. Methods. Literature review on intradetrusor injection of BTX for detrusor overactivity. Results. The greatest clinical experience reports the use of 200 and 300 U Botox®. Available data suggest that clinical efficacy, duration, and the side effect profile is similar at these doses. Very few data, on the other hand, are available regarding the clinical outcomes using the Dysport® preparation; isolated reports support that efficacy is similar when using a dosing range of 500 to 1000 SU with increased risk of systemic side effects using 1000 SU. A variety of injection volumes was used, demonstrating similar efficacy and tolerability profile. Clinical effect duration extends six to ten months in the majority of studies. Data suggest that a repeated injection scheme proves successful in the vast majority of initial responders. Conclusions. Safety, effectiveness, specificity and reversibility make BTX a new attractive treatment modality for overactive bladder syndrome. However, more experience is needed to standardize the injection protocol with respect to therapeutic outcomes and adverse effects.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the response in spinal cord injured patients alternatively treated with different types and dosages of Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) over 15 years. Material and methods Patients who underwent first BoNT/A from 1999-2001 and practiced intermittent catheterization were included. Baseline 3-day bladder diary (BD) and urodynamics were collected. BoNT/A failure was defined when patients asked for re-injection ≤ 3 months post-treatment. Criteria for re-injection was at least one daily episode of urinary incontinence at BD. Before re-injection, patients were asked if they had reached 6 months of dryness without antimuscarinics (YES response). Results Overall, 32/60 (53.4%) “No failure” (NF) group; 16 (26.6%) “occasional failure” (OF) and 12 (20%) “consecutive failure” (CF) were included. A total of 822 BoNT/A infiltrations were performed. The mean interval from previous injection to treatment re-scheduling was 8 months. No significant differences between treatments were found within the three groups (p>0.05). The percentage of YES responses increased from 19% (AboBoNT/A 500IU) to 29 % (OnaBoNT/A 300IU) in NF, and from 18% (AboBoNT/A 500IU) to 25% (OnaBoNT/A 300IU) for OF. Five NF cases (15.6%) maintained 6 months of dryness after each injection. Among the baseline variables, only low compliance (< 20mL/cmH2O) was found as predictor for failure (p=0.006). Conclusions Long term BoNT/A for NDO did not increase failures, independent of the types of treatments and switching. Definition of failure and other criteria for continuing repetitive BoNT/A treatment is mandatory. CF was predictable for no response in earlier follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and efficacy of a single intravesical injection of onabotulinumtoxinA (OnaBTA) for treating urge urinary incontinence (UUI) in women. METHOD We performed a prospective case-series study of consecutive patients with refractory UUI treated with an intravesical injection of OnaBTA. The patients were administered 100 units of OnaBTA injected into the bladder wall following 4 weeks of flushing with anticholinergic agents or beta 3 agonists. The urodynamic and clinical endpoints were evaluated before and 6 months after the injection of OnaBTA. The primary study endpoint was the number of episodes of urinary leakage. RESULTS A total of 204 of the 210 selected patients conducted a valid visit 6 months after the therapeutic application. At 6 months of treatment with OnaBTA, 110 (53.9%) patients remained continent and were considered a success. However, 57 (27.9%) patients experienced one episode of urinary leakage per day, and 37 (18.2%) had 2 or more. In terms of the urodynamic parameters, we observed the following changes: increase in maximum bladder capacity (P<.0001) and reduced maximum pressure of the detrusor (P<.0001). In terms of the safety profile, 8 (3.9%) patients had self-limiting haematuria during the procedure, which resolved spontaneously, and 9 (4.4%) patients had acute urinary retention that required intermittent catheterisation. CONCLUSIONS This study supports the use of OnabotulinumtoxinA in patients with urge urinary incontinence that does not respond to medical treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE OnabotulinumtoxinA is used widely for the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess its efficacy and safety for neurogenic detrusor overactivity treatment. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed to identify all published randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of onabotulinumtoxinA for neurogenic detrusor overactivity treatment. MEDLINE, Embase, and the CENTRAL were employed. Reference lists of retrieved studies were reviewed carefully. RESULTS Six publications involving 871 patients, which compared onabotulinumtoxinA with a placebo were analyzed. Efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA treatment was shown as a reduction of the mean number of urinary incontinence episodes per day (mean difference, -1.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.70 to -1.12; P<0.00001), maximum cystometric capacity (135.48; 95% CI, 118.22-152.75; P<0.00001), and maximum detrusor pressure (-32.98; 95% CI, -37.33 to -28.62; P<0.00001). Assessment of adverse events revealed that complications due to onabotulinumtoxinA injection were localized primarily to the urinary tract. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that onabotulinumtoxinA is an effective treatment for neurogenic detrusor overactivity with localized advent events.

Abstract
Evidence for the efficacy and safety of intravesical onabotulinum toxin A (onabotA) injections has led to them being licensed in many countries, including Korea, for the treatment of patients with urinary incontinence due to neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) resulting from spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis who are refractory or intolerant to anticholinergic medications. OnabotA injections have an inhibitory effect on acetylcholine release for up to 10 months, with a recommended dose of 200 U. OnabotA treatment has a beneficial effect not only on urinary symptoms, but also on quality of life. Several clinical studies have shown onabotA to have better effects than placebo in achieving continence, reducing incontinence episodes, improving urodynamic parameters, and improving health-related quality of life. Urinary tract infections and postvoid residual volume are the most prevalent side effects. In patients with residual volume, clean intermittent catheterization may be necessary. In patients with spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis, it is recommended to evaluate physical and cognitive function before intravesical onabotA injection to ensure that the patient and caregiver are able to perform catheterization if necessary. Further controlled trials should assess the optimal dose, injection technique, long-term safety of repeated injections, and optimal timing of onabotA treatment in the treatment of NDO.

Abstract
Many of the patients undergoing intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections for refractory neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) present with chronic bacteriuria. In these patients, antibiotic prophylaxis has been widely recommended since bacteriuria might impair treatment efficacy and cause urinary tract infections (UTI) but the evidence is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate if an antibiotic prophylaxis is needed in patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria undergoing intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections. Between 06/2012 and 12/2014, a consecutive series of 154 patients undergoing a total of 273 treatment cycles were prospectively evaluated. Before treatment urine samples were collected, patients with no clinical signs for UTI underwent onabotulinumtoxinA injections, no antibiotic prophylaxis was given. Asymptomatic bacteriuria was found in 73% (200/273 treatments). Following treatment, UTI occurred in 5% (9/200) and 7% (5/73) of patients with and without bacteriuria, respectively. Intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections were clinically and urodynamically successful in 70% (192/273). There was no association between bacteriuria and treatment-related adverse events (odds ratio 0.64, 95% CI 0.23–1.81, p = 0.4) nor between bacteriuria and therapy failure (odds ratio 0.78, 95% CI 0.43–1.43, p = 0.4). Thus, we conclude that antibiotic prophylaxis needs to be critically reconsidered in patients undergoing intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections, especially taking into account the alarming antibiotic resistance worldwide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) affects the quality of life (QoL) of millions of individuals worldwide. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of onabotulinumtoxinA in patients with NDO using a network meta-analytic approach, which can also quantify and compare the efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA across different dosages. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and the Controlled Trials Register were searched to identify randomized controlled trials comparing onabotulinumtoxinA to a control for NDO in adult patients. The primary outcome was the mean number of urinary incontinence (UI) episodes per week. Urodynamic parameters included the maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) and the maximum detrusor pressure (MDP). The safety of onabotulinumtoxinA was determined by the incidence of various frequent adverse events (AEs). Two authors extracted data independently, and the statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.1.0 software. RESULTS A total of 1,915 patients from six randomized controlled trials were included in this meta-analysis. The onabotulinumtoxinA-treated groups had a significantly decreased mean number of urinary incontinence episodes per week (at week 6) (onabotulinumtoxinA200U: MD: -10.72, 95% CI: -13.4 to -8.04, P<0.00001; 300 U: MD: -11.42, 95% CI: -13.91 to -8.93, P<0.00001), MDP (200 U: MD: -33.46, 95% CI: -39.74 to -27.18, P<0.00001; 300 U: MD: -31.72, 95% CI: -37.69 to -25.75, P<0.00001), and greater increased MCC (200 U: MD: 141.30, 95% CI: 121.28 to 161.32, P<0.00001; 300 U: MD: 151.39, 95% CI: 130.43 to 172.34, P<0.00001) compared to the placebo-treated groups. However, there were no significant differences between the onabotulinumtoxinA-treated groups for the number of weekly UI episodes at 6 weeks (MD: 0.08, 95% CI: -2.57 to 2.73, P = 0.95). Similarly, we also observed that there were no significant differences in MCC (MD: -9.97, 95% CI: -33.15 to 13.20, P = 0.40) and MDP (MD: -1.86, 95% CI: -8.09 to 4.37, P = 0.56). Considering the AEs, the onabotulinumtoxinA-treated groups were often associated with more complications, including urinary tract infections (UTIs) (RR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.29 to 1.67, P<0.00001), urinary retention (RR: 5.58, 95% CI: 3.53 to 8.83, P<0.00001), hematuria (RR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.01 to 2.85, P = 0.05), and muscle weakness (RR: 2.59, 95% CI: 1.36 to 4.91, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS OnabotulinumtoxinA can significantly reduce the frequency of urge urinary incontinence and improve urodynamic parameters (MCC and MDP) in patients with NDO at 6 weeks after treatment. This meta-analysis indicates that onabotulinumtoxinA is effective and safe for treating patients with NDO compared to placebo. Additionally, we did not observe any statistical or clinical differences in efficacy between 300 and 200 U dosages.

Clinical Efficacy and Changes of Urothelial Dysfunction after Repeated Detrusor Botulinum Toxin A Injections in Chronic Spinal Cord-Injured Bladder. Toxins (Basel) 2016; 8:toxins8060164. [PMID: 27249005 PMCID: PMC4926131 DOI: 10.3390/toxins8060164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2016] [Revised: 05/08/2016] [Accepted: 05/18/2016] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Chornic spinal cord injury (SCI) will induce bladder urothelium dysfunction. This study investigated the therapeutic effects on urothelial dysfunction after repeated detrusor injections of onabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT-A) in SCI patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO). Twenty chronic suprasacral SCI patients with NDO were enrolled. The patients received 300 U BoNT-A injection into the detrusor every six months. The urothelium was assessed by cystoscopic biopsy at baseline and six months after each BoNT-A treatment. Immunofluorescence staining for urothelial dysfunction, including E-cadherin, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), tryptase for mast cell activity, and urothelial apoptosis were investigated. The outcome of urothelial dysfunction parameters after BoNT-A injection were compared between baseline and six months after each treatment. Repeated 300 U BoNT-A injections showed a sustained decrease of detrusor pressure compared with baseline. After three repeated BoNT-A detrusor injections, significantly greater distributions of E-cadherin (p = 0.042) and ZO-1 (p = 0.003) expressions, but no significant changes, of urothelial apoptosis and mast cell activation were found after repeated BoNT-A therapy. Urothelial dysfunction, such as adhesive and junction protein concentrations in SCI patients’ bladders, recovered after three repeated cycles of BoNT-A treatment. The therapeutic effects sustained. However, urothelial inflammation and apoptosis after SCI were not significantly improved after three repeated BoNT-A injections.

Prospective evaluation of antibiotic treatment for urological procedure in patients presenting with neurogenic bladder. Med Mal Infect 2016; 46:300-7. [PMID: 27241225 DOI: 10.1016/j.medmal.2016.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2015] [Revised: 12/30/2015] [Accepted: 04/06/2016] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients presenting with neurogenic bladder often require urological procedures (urodynamic testing and botulinum toxin injections) and a preventive antibiotic therapy. We aimed to assess the efficacy of this little known strategy in a cohort of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients presenting with neurogenic bladder who underwent urological procedure were included in the study. They received an antibiotic therapy in accordance with the urine cytobacteriological examination results. The antibiotic therapy was initiated two days before the procedure and prolonged up until two days after the procedure if the culture was positive. Patients were treated with a single dose of fosfomycin-trometamol in case of a negative culture. The main study outcome was the occurrence of urinary tract infection (UTI), defined by a positive urine culture and symptoms, up until 14 days after the procedure. RESULTS A total of 80 urological procedures were performed. Mean patient age was 47±13.1 years (sex ratio 1.22); 59 (73.8%) presented with asymptomatic bacteriuria before the procedure. Nine (11.1%) UTIs were recorded on Day 14, of which one (1.2%) was febrile. Two patients required an additional curative antibiotic therapy. No patient was hospitalized. Overall, 77.8% of UTIs were cured without antibiotic therapy. CONCLUSION Screening and treating asymptomatic bacteriuria before urological procedures seems unnecessary and vainly exposes this population at high risk of infectious diseases to antibiotic therapies. This data should be confirmed by a randomized clinical trial.

J Pediatr Urol 2016; 12:94.e1-6. [PMID: 26472538 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2015.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2015] [Accepted: 06/14/2015] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review 10 years of experience with both intravesical and intrasphincteric onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox(®)) injections in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty three children aged between 1 and 18 years at first injection had a combined total of 134 injections (106 intravesical, 23 intrasphincteric and five combined) between January 2004 and December 2013 at Princess Margaret Hospital. Follow-up occurred 3 months post procedure, and then 3-6 monthly. Response to Botox was graded according to the International Children's Continence Society (ICCS) response to treatment scale. Response time was the time that the injection remained effective before symptoms relapsed to the ICCS 'no response' category Nevéus et al., 2006. RESULTS Median response times to Botox by pathology are summarised in Table 1. For detrusor overactivity (DO), the response after each Botox injection was in the ICCS '>90% symptom reduction' category Nevéus et al., 2006. Two children had sustained responses to Botox for a tenth and eleventh injection, respectively. A total of 45% of children receiving intrasphincteric Botox for chronic dysfunctional voiding (DV) or detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) had no symptom recurrence. Intravesical Botox was effective for treating new-onset hydronephrosis secondary to neurogenic bladder in one child. Intravesical Botox had a sustained effect over five injections in eliminating trigonal hypersensitivity and pain with CIC in one child. Episodes of severe autonomic dysreflexia in one child with a high cord transection were effectively eliminated by intravesical Botox, and were sustained over three injections. Thirteen of the 134 Botox injections (9.7%) had a symptomatic culture-positive urinary tract infection (UTI) in the 2 weeks following injection. All had a history of previous UTI. Three children (2.8%) developed urinary retention after intravesical injection. DISCUSSION Intravesical Botox remained effective after up to eleven injections. In children with DV or DSD, the response to Botox was more variable, but 45% experienced symptom resolution with no recurrence. Trigonal hypersensitivity with CIC improved in a child after Botox. Botox may confer long-term bladder and upper tract protection in the neurogenic patient group. Severe episodes of autonomic dysreflexia triggered by bladder fill in a child with high cord lesion were eliminated by intravesical Botox. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that intravesical Botox remained effective in response quality and response time in children up to an eleventh injection. This is one of the longer follow-up studies in children published to date. Botox was effective in numbing trigonal hypersensitivity, treating new-onset hydronephrosis secondary to neurogenic bladder, and eliminating episodes of autonomic dysreflexia in one patient each.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To offer a set of useful recommendations for urologists who are starting to provide treatment of overactive bladders with onabotulinumtoxinA. METHODS A literature search to December 2013 was conducted, as well as a subsequent critical reading of the selected publications. The coordinators prepared a document that was submitted for review by the members of the Spanish Group for the use of Botulinum Toxin in Urology. RESULTS The expert group considered that onabotulinumtoxinA may be used for overactive bladder syndrome with urinary urge incontinence secondary to neurogenic or idiopathic detrusor overactivity for patients for whom conservative treatment and first-line medical treatment has failed, is not tolerated or is contraindicated. Treatment in most cases was performed with local intravesical anesthesia, although it can also be performed under epidural or general anesthesia. Patients must be informed of the possibility of requiring self-catheterization or temporary catheterization. Clinicians should ensure that the patients are capable of performing this catheterization before the treatment is conducted. Patients must also be informed of the need for antibiotic prophylaxis to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections. At least 2 follow-up visits are recommended: the first at days 7-14 after the injection and the second at 2-3 months. Reinjection is indicated when the effect of the treatment decreases. CONCLUSION These guidelines can help clinicians in their daily decisions and limit the potential risks associated with the incorrect use of the drug.

Abstract
Intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin are the cornerstone of medical treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The primary aim of this treatment is to ensure a low pressure regimen in the urinary bladder, but the mechanisms leading to long-term protection of the urinary tract remain poorly understood. In this paper, we highlight the potential benefits of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin regarding local effects on the bladder structures, urinary tract infections, stone disease, vesico ureteral reflux, hydronephrosis, renal function based on a comprehensive literature review.

Abstract
Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) can result in lower and upper urinary tract complications and eventually even in end-stage kidney failure. Since the driving force of this clinical cascade is high bladder pressure, controlling intravesical pressure in NDO patients improves both quality of life and life-expectancy in these patients. Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) has proven its efficacy in reducing intravesical pressure and in reducing incontinence episodes. BTX-A also improves quality of life in patients with NDO. Both onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®, Allergan, Irvine, USA) and abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport®, Ipsen, Paris, France) have a level A recommendation for NDO-treatment. The recommended dose for intradetrusor injections in NDO patients is 200 U of onabotulinumtoxinA or 500 U of abobotulinumtoxinA. The drug is generally administered extratrigonal in the detrusor muscle, via cystoscopic guided injection at 20 sites in 1 mL injections. Intradetrusor BTX-A injections are safe, with mostly local complications such as urinary tract infection and high post-void residual or retention. The effect of the toxin lasts for approximately 9 months. Repeat injections can be performed without loss of efficacy. Different injection techniques, novel ways of BTX-A administration, eliminating the need for injection or new BTX-A types with better/longer response rates could change the field in the future.

Abstract
Botulinum toxin (BTX) is a potent neurotoxin which blocks acetylcholine release from nerve terminals, and therefore leads to cessation of somatic motor and/or parasympathetic transmission. Recently it has been found that BTX also interferes with sensory transmission, thus, the present study was aimed at investigating the neurochemical characterization of substance P-immunoreactive (SP-IR) bladder-projecting sensory neurons (BPSN) after the toxin treatment. Investigated neurons were visualized with retrograde tracing method and their chemical profile was disclosed with double-labelling immunohistochemistry using antibodies against SP, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP), neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), galanin (GAL), calbindin (CB), and somatostatin (SOM). In the control group (n = 6), 45% of the total population of BPSN were SP-IR. Nearly half of these neurons co-expressed PACAP or CGRP (45% and 35%, respectively), while co-localization of SP with GAL, nNOS, SOM or CB was found less frequently (3.7%, 1.8%, 1.2%, and 0.7%, respectively). In BTX-treated pigs (n = 6), toxin-injections caused a decrease in the number of SP-IR cells containing CGRP, SOM or CB (16.2%, 0.5%, and 0%, respectively) and a distinct increase in these nerve cells immunopositive to GAL (27.2%). The present study demonstrates that BTX significantly modifies the chemical phenotypes of SP-IR BPSN.

Abstract
Botulinum toxin subtype A (BoNT-A) is a potent neurotoxin that can selectively modulate neurotransmitter release from nerve endings, resulting in muscular paralysis. BoNT-A might also act on sensory nerves, and have an anti-inflammatory effect. In the first urological use of BoNT-A, injection into the urethral sphincters of patients with detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia resulted in a reduction of urethral resistance and improved voiding efficiency. Subsequently, intravesical BoNT-A injections have received regulatory approval for treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity owing to spinal cord lesions or multiple sclerosis, and idiopathic overactive bladder in adults. BoNT-A has also been widely used to treat patients with the off-label indications of neurogenic or non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction and male lower urinary tract symptoms owing to BPH and bladder-neck dysfunction. Other indications for which urologists have applied BoNT-A injections include interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, bladder oversensitivity and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. BoNT-A is currently delivered as an intravesical injection; however, use of liposome encapsulated formulations is also beginning to show some therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Aim: The aim was to report the effectiveness and safety OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox, Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) intradetrusor injections in spinal cord-injured (SCI) patients with refractory neurogenic detrusor overactivity. And to assess the result based on SCI level. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the chart of 103 patients with neurogenic bladder secondary to SCI at the rehab center who received OnabotulinumtoxinA in our Neurourology Department for treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms between January 2007 and December 2013. All patients had a clinical examination, urinalysis, and an urodynamic study at baseline and 3 months after treatment as well as a visual analogue scale (VAS; range scale: 0–10) and a bladder diary checked for 3 days. 300 IU of OnabotulinumtoxinA, detrusor muscle injections were performed in 30 sites under cystoscopic guidance. Outcome measures included frequency of urge urinary incontinence collected by bladder diaries; changes in urodynamic parameters such as maximum cystometric bladder capacity, reflex volume, maximum detrusor pressure; side-effects; antimuscarinic drug consumption and quality of life (QOL) measured with VAS. Results: The study includes 32 female and 71 male with a mean patient age of 29 years (range: 18–56 year). The effect of Botox injection on bladder function was observed within 1–2 week after treatment. The urodynamic parameters were improved significantly after treatment compared with baseline values. There were significant reductions in the frequencies of incontinence episodes after treatment as seen in the voiding diary. A significant improvement in patient satisfaction was found after treatment which was expressed on the VAS assessment, with an improvement of the mean of 3 points. Patients with thoracic and lumbar injury have better result compare to cervical injury patients. The earliest recurrence of clinical symptoms was at 10 weeks. Overall, the mean duration of symptomatic improvement was 8 (2.5–21) months. Conclusion: Intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections are an effective and well-tolerated treatment for neurogenic overactive bladder that will increase patient satisfaction and improve QOL with persisted clinical efficacy for more than 8 months.

Abstract
Neurogenic bladder is a dysfunction of the lower urinary tract caused by nervous system disorder. We investigated the trends in publication of articles under the topic “neurogenic bladder” using bibliometric analysis. Articles on neurogenic bladder, published between 1995 and 2014, were retrieved from the ISI Web of Science citation database. We analyzed the search results for authors, countries, institutions, journals, and top-cited papers. A total of 1,904 articles were retrieved. There was a small increase in the number of articles on neurogenic bladder from 1995 (n = 43) to 2014 (n = 117). The USA was the leading country in the total number of articles (n = 598). However, the number of publications from China has rapidly increased, and China was ranked second in 2014. Emmanuel Chartier-Kastler (n = 65) was the most productive author, and University of Paris VI (Paris 6) (n = 61) was the most productive institution. The Journal of Urology published the greatest number of articles on this topic (n = 285). Articles on neurogenic bladder were often published in a professional journal under the category Urology & Nephrology, Neurosciences & Neurology, or Rehabilitation. Visualization analysis based on co-citation networks was conducted using CiteSpace III. Visualization analysis revealed that the hot spots in neurogenic bladder were botulinum toxin-A, prazosin, bethanechol, and afferent pathways. These findings provide new insight into the publication trends and hot spots in neurogenic bladder.

Abstract
Neurogenic bladder dysfunction due to spinal cord injury poses a significant threat to the well-being of patients. Incontinence, renal impairment, urinary tract infection, stones, and poor quality of life are some complications of this condition. The majority of patients will require management to ensure low pressure reservoir function of the bladder, complete emptying, and dryness. Management typically begins with anticholinergic medications and clean intermittent catheterization. Patients who fail this treatment because of inefficacy or intolerability are candidates for a spectrum of more invasive procedures. Endoscopic managements to relieve the bladder outlet resistance include sphincterotomy, botulinum toxin injection, and stent insertion. In contrast, patients with incompetent sphincters are candidates for transobturator tape insertion, sling surgery, or artificial sphincter implantation. Coordinated bladder emptying is possible with neuromodulation in selected patients. Bladder augmentation, usually with an intestinal segment, and urinary diversion are the last resort. Tissue engineering is promising in experimental settings; however, its role in clinical bladder management is still evolving. In this review, we summarize the current literature pertaining to the pathology and management of neurogenic bladder dysfunction in patients with spinal cord injury.
