Daily Intravesical Instillation of 1 mg Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ for the Control of Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity: A Multicenter, Placebo Controlled, Randomized Exploratory Study

This study showed that intravesical nociceptin/orphanin FQ but not placebo inhibited the micturition reflex in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity incontinence, and demonstrated the clinical efficacy of nociceptin/orphanin FQ during 10 days of treatment. These findings support the use of nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide receptor agonists as an innovative therapeutic approach for controlling detrusor overactivity incontinence.
