Botox for Chronic Pelvic Pain

University of Miami

Start Date

2/24/2025

Completion Date

3/22/2027

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to find out if precise, targeted injection of botulinum neurotoxin (commonly known as Botox) provides better relief of pelvic floor hypertonicity and pain than the standard method being used. The researchers want to better understand the effects (good and bad) of targeted botulinum neurotoxin injections in women with pelvic floor disorders.
