Measure
Botox/DMSO Solution
Subjects received Botulinum-A toxin and Dimethyl sulfoxide solution. The first 3 subjects in Phase 1 underwent bladder instillation of 50 cc of the solution utilizing 200 units of botulinum-A toxin and 50cc DMSO. The next 6 subjects in the Phase 1 trial received 300 units of botulinum-A toxin and 50cc DMSO. All subjects in the Phase 2 trial received 300 units of botulinum-A toxin and 50cc DMSO. Botulinum-A toxin: A simple bladder catheterization in the office with a standard urinary catheter and instill the Botulinum-A toxin/DMSO solution. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO): Subjects received 50 cc of DMSO in an aqueous solution for intravesical instillation with botulinum-A toxin. Each cc contained 0.54 gm DMSO.

Timeframe: baseline

The Blaivas-Groutz Anti-incontinence scale was used as a measure of urinary incontinence. This scale combines information on the number of incontinent episodes in a 24-hour period, 24-hour pad weights, and a qualitative rating by the patient into a single score ranging from 0 to 6. This score is then used to categorize incontinence as none (0), mild (1-2), moderate (3-4), or severe (5-6).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline

Urinary urgency was measured by the Indevus Urgency Severity Scale (IUSS). The IUSS asks patients to assess the severity of 'urgency' at each void. The scale employs the following wording: "Degree of urgency is meant to describe your urge to urinate. Sometimes you may feel a very strong urge to urinate and at other times, you may feel a milder urge prior to the onset of a toilet void. Rate this feeling by circling 0, 1, 2, or 3, defined as: 0: NONE - no urgency, 1: MILD - awareness of urgency, but it is easily tolerated and you can continue with your usual activity or tasks, 2: MODERATE - enough urgency discomfort that it interferes with or shortens your usual activity or tasks, 3: SEVERE - extreme urgency discomfort that abruptly stops all activity or tasks."
