Summary

This trial will study whether a medication called phenazopyridine (Pyridium) is as effective as lidocaine in reducing pain during botox injections for overactive bladder at Montefiore

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients at Montefiore Medical Center with overactive bladder conditions who are undergoing botox injections for treatment. Participants should not have any health issues that would interfere with the study or medication use.
What is being tested?
The study compares oral phenazopyridine (Pyridium) to intravesical lidocaine, which is a liquid administered into the bladder, to see if Pyridium can manage pain as effectively during bladder botox injections.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of phenazopyridine may include headache, dizziness, stomach cramps and orange-colored urine. Lidocaine might cause symptoms like local irritation and in rare cases systemic toxicity.
