A Randomized, Placebo Controlled Trial of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Plus Standard Care Versus Standard Care Alone During In-office Intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) Injections
TriHealth Inc.
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if a mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen can improve pain control during bladder Botox injections. The primary question it aims to answer is: Does using nitrous oxide lower the overall level of pain during the procedure? Researchers will compare a 50:50 nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture (administered with the Pro-Nox system) plus standard care (with lidocaine in the bladder) to sham mask plus standard care to see if nitrous oxide works better for lowering pain. Participants will: * Receive their bladder Botox injection in the office setting * Either use nitrous oxide/oxygen plus standard care during the procedure, or sham mask plus standard care * Answer brief questions about pain, anxiety, satisfaction, and willingness to repeat the procedure
Description
This study will assess if a 50:50 nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture can lower pain in women undergoing in-office bladder onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injections. Many people report pain during this procedure, and pain is a common reason not to repeat the procedure. Nitrous oxide is a fast-acting inhaled analgesic that is used commonly in the office setting. This randomized controlled trial will compare nitrous oxide/oxygen plus standard care with sham mask plus standard care. Participants assigned to the nitrous oxide group will receive nitrous oxide via the Pro-Nox device during the procedure.…

Interventions
- DrugPro-Nox Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Delivery System
The Pro-Nox system delivers a fixed 50:50 mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen for patient self-administered inhaled analgesia. Participants will self-administer nitrous oxide throughout the in-office bladder Botox procedure.
- DrugStandard Care for Bladder Botox Injection
Standard care includes intravesical instilled 1-2% lidocaine with a dwell time of at least 15 minutes before the procedure.
- OtherSham Mask
The Sham Mask will involve that participant using the same mask as that of the Nitrous Oxide group, but connected to a Pro-Nox system that is turned completely off. They will therefore receive room air through the mask.
