Antibiotics Before Bladder Botox Injections

This study is looking at whether giving antibiotics (Nitrofurantoin) before bladder Botox injections is truly necessary. The goal is to see if not giving antibiotics is just as safe as giving them, which could help reduce antibiotic resistance. You could be eligible if you are an adult woman (18 or older) who is scheduled to receive bladder Botox. You cannot participate if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain health conditions that prevent you from getting Botox. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive oral antibiotics for a few days around their Botox procedure or not receive them. The main thing the researchers will be looking for is how many people get urinary tract infections (UTIs) two weeks after the procedure. The study's status is currently unclear, and it plans to enroll 140 participants.

Study design
This is a single-center, randomized-controlled trial involving 140 participants. You will be randomly assigned to either receive antibiotics or not.
What's involved
You will have a urine culture about 14 days before the procedure. You will return for a follow-up appointment about 2 weeks after treatment and receive a phone call at 6 weeks for another follow-up.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for urinary tract infection symptoms at 2 weeks and again at 6 weeks after treatment.
