An online bladder health survey was administered to national registry volunteers to: (1) determine the feasibility of using ResearchMatch for studying lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS); (2) pilot the new, comprehensive Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Research Network Symptom Index-29 (LURN-SI-29) and determine its ability to detect known associations with LUTS; and (3) explore novel areas […]

Impact of intravesical onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) on sexual function in patients with overactive bladder syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The association between overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome and sexual dysfunction is well documented. Intra-detrusor onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) has proven to be effective treatment for OAB syndrome.
