      Adapted from EAU Guidelines 2022 and NICE Guidelines 20125,6

      Botulinum toxin injection is a recommended option in the ICI and NICE guidelines6,7

      Offer bladder wall injection with botulinum toxin type A to adults:6

      • With symptoms of an overactive bladder and

      • In whom antimuscarinic drugs have proved to be ineffective or poorly tolerated

      BoNT/A: botulinum toxin type-A; ICI: International Consultation on Incontinence; NDO: neurogenic detrusor overactivity; NICE: National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.

      *BOTOX® (botulinum toxin type A) is indicated for management of bladder dysfunctions in adult patients who are not adequately managed with anticholinergics: neurogenic detrusor overactivity with urinary incontinence due to subcervical spinal cord injury (traumatic or non-traumatic), or multiple sclerosis.8

      NICE guidance:6

      • Offer bladder wall injection with botulinum toxin type A to adults:

      • with spinal cord disease (for example, spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis) and

      • with symptoms of an overactive bladder and

      • in whom antimuscarinic drugs have proved to be ineffective or poorly tolerated

      • Before offering bladder wall injection with botulinum toxin type A: 

      • explain to the person and/or their family members and carers that a catheterisation regimen is needed in most people with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction after treatment, and

      • ensure that they are able and willing to manage such a regimen should urinary retention develop after the treatment
