Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective cohort study of women with overactive bladder OAB (dry or wet) who have failed 2 prior treatments, including behavioral modification, pelvic floor physical therapy, and/or OAB medication (anticholinergics or mirabegron), and have chosen either OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTX) injection or percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) as their next treatment. OAB-dry refers to patients with OAB who do not have urge urinary incontinence; OAB-wet refers to patients with OAB and urge urinary incontinence. Eligible patients will be approached for study participation after they have decided to proceed with BTX or PTNS.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Prior to initiation of BTX or PTNS, patients will undergo a standardized evaluation including urodynamics study (UDS) if not previously done in the past year and pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POPq) exam if not previously done in past 6 months. Subjects will also complete quality of life questionnaires and 3-day voiding diary prior to initial treatment. Follow up questionnaires will be completed at 3 months either in office, if patient has a routine visit scheduled with provider and questionnaires can be completed at that visit or questionnaires will be mailed with return postage for participant to mail completed questionnaires back.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNTA)

DRUG: OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNTA) is an injection into the bladder which blocks the presynaptic release of acetylcholine. BoNTA was approved for the treatment of OAB by the FDA in 2013.

OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNTA)

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS)

DEVICE: PTNS involves needle stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve and is typically performed with weekly 30 minute sessions for a 12 week treatment course.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Women with refractory OAB (dry or wet)
2. OAB will be defined by a positive response and bother of "somewhat, quite a bit, a great deal, or a very great deal" to question #3 or #8 on the OAB-q (see appendix B) regarding urinary urgency and urgency incontinence.
3. Refractory will be defined as failure of 2 prior treatments, including behavioral modification, pelvic floor physical therapy, and OAB medication (anticholinergics or mirabegron). Trial of 2 medications that did not improve symptoms after 2 weeks or could not be tolerated due to side effects will constitute 2 treatment failures.
4. Women with mixed urinary incontinence that is urge predominant will also be included.
5. Age ≥ 18 years
6. English speaking
7. Available for 1 year follow-up
8. Able to complete study questionnaires

Exclusion Criteria

1. Neurologic disease known to cause OAB including, but not limited to, Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Spinal Cord Injury.
2. Pregnancy by self-report or pregnancy test
3. Contraindication to PTNS and/or BTX

* PTNS: Pacemaker
* BTX: myasthenia gravis, allergy to BTX, urinary retention (post void residual \>200cc)
4. Planned surgery for pelvic floor disorder during the study period
5. Prior treatment with BTX, PTNS, or sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) for refractory OAB/urinary urge incontinence (UUI)
