Interstitial Cystitis
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Interstitial Cystitis focused on measuring women, interstitial cystitis, bladder pain syndrome, botox, onabotulinum toxin A
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult females between the ages of 18 and 80 inclusive
- Patients being treated for IC who are refractory to conservative management and oral therapy.
- willing and able to initiate catheterization post-treatment
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any history of bladder cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, vaginal cancer, urethral diverticulum, spinal cord injury, stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, cyclophosphamide treatment, radiation treatment to the pelvis, bladder tuberculosis, genital herpes.
- Currently on or requiring anti-platelet/anti-coagulant concomitant therapy or having been on anti-platelet/ anti-coagulant therapy within the past 3 months
- Pregnancy. Pregnancy is an absolute contraindication to undergoing these procedures. Thus, as part of their normal pre-operative work up, which is standard of care, pregnancy tests are administered if they are women of child-bearing age, are sexually active, and are within 10 days of the normal menstrual period. If positive, they will be excluded as they will not undergo the procedure.
- An active urinary tract infection as shown during clean-catch urinalysis at screening visit. Subject may be re-screened if UTI is successfully treated and urinalysis is negative at rescreening.
- A history of hypersensitivity or allergy to any botulinum toxin preparation
- A post-void residual (PVR) urine volume >200mL at baseline
- Treatment with botulinum toxin during the 12 week period prior to the trial

Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Botox upper aspect trigone
botox periphery of trigone
Subjects in the experimental cohort will receive a one time dose of 100 units of Onabotulinumtoxin A diluted in 10 mL of preservative free normal saline and injected in 1.0 mL boluses in a set pattern across the upper aspect of the trigone of the urinary bladder.
Each group will receive a total of 100 units of botox spread out among 10 separate injections. Subjects in the control group will have 10 injections made about the periphery of the trigone. The control cohort will receive a one time dose of Onabotulinumtoxin A using the same dilution and number of boluses, but boluses will be administered at random sites on the posterior bladder wall (excluding the trigone).
