Abstract

INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES: Urinary urgency and frequency are the cardinal symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome suggesting that changes in sensory function may be the underlying cause. Trans-urothelial injection of BoNT/A has recently proved to be an effective treatment of urgency; however its mechanism of action remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of BoNT/A on the afferent response to bladder filling and the release of ATP from the urothelium.
