Abstract

Urinary urgency is the key sensory symptom of overactive bladder syndrome (OABS). In recent years, injection of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) into the bladder has proved to be an effective way of treating urgency in patients with OABS.
However, the underlying mechanism of action of BoNT/A is unclear. It has been suggested that the efficacy of BoNT/A may
depend on inhibition of vesicular release of neurotransmitters and mediators from suburothelial nerves and/or the urothelium.
