Purpose

The primary aim is to compare the effectiveness of intradetrusor injection of 100 unit injection of Botulinum toxin A to mid-urethral sling for change in MUI symptoms 6 months following treatment.

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Active Comparator
Botox A® injection
A dose of 100 units of Botulinum toxin A will be injected into the bladder. Follow up visits at 2 weeks, 3 and 6 months post intervention to collect clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
  • Drug: Botox® injection
    Botulinum toxin A will be prepared by dissolving 100 units of botulinum toxin A into 10 ml of injectable saline. Indigo carmine or methylene blue 0.1 ml will be added to each syringe of botulinum toxin A. The treating physician will inject a total of 10 ml of the Botox A® into approximately 15 to 20 different detrusor muscle sites under direct visualization.
Active Comparator
Mid-urethral sling
Mid-urethral Sling Procedure includes retropubic as well as transobturator full length slings. Follow up visits at 2 weeks, 3 and 6 months post intervention to collect clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
  • Device: Mid-urethral sling
    Mid-urethral Sling Procedure includes retropubic as well as transobturator full length slings. "Mini-sling" and "single-incision" sling will not be allowed due to potential risk for higher failure rate.

Detailed Description

Mixed urinary incontinence (MUI), defined as the presence of both stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), is a challenging condition for which clinicians frequently use multiple sequential treatments that have undergone limited evaluation in rigorous clinical trials. The Mixed Urinary Incontinence: Mid-urethral Sling vs. Botox A (MUSA) trial will estimate the effect of Botulinum toxin A (Botox A ®) compared to mid-urethral sling for the treatment of MUI symptoms in 146 women. MUSA is a randomized 2-arm clinical trial. The purpose of MUSA is to: - compare treatment with either Botulinum toxin A (Botox A ®) or mid-urethral sling for women with MUI - characterize patient characteristics associated with treatment response The primary objective is to estimate the effect of intradetrusor injections Botulinum toxin A (Botox A ®) compared to mid-urethral sling for treatment of MUI in 146 women 6 months after treatment. The change in severity of MUI symptoms will be measured using the Urogenital Distress Inventory. Secondary objectives include identifying predictors of treatment failure and cost-effectiveness of treatments in this MUI population. The study will continue with an additional 6 month observational period until 12 months post treatment. A supplemental study will characterize baseline putative proteins/protein pathways in women with MUI associated with change in UDI after treatment with MUS or onabotulinum toxin A.
