Botulinum Toxin for the Management of Chronic Orchialgia

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Chronic Testicular Pain

In brief

The purpose of this research study is to determine if Botox injections will provide relief from chronic testicular pain. In the study, the spermatic cord of particpants will be injected with either Botox or a placebo of saline. Botox is currently used to treat other urological conditions like overactive bladder and lower urinary tract problems. For these conditions, Botox works by relaxing muscles in the affected areas. The investigators believe that Botox will act similarly in the treatment chronic testicular pain.
