Background: Neurological detrusor overactivity (NDO) is commonly associated with various neurogenic diseases. Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) has been proposed as alternatives to traditional treatments. Objective: To summarize the clinical experience of nursing care for the treatment of the Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injections due to neurological detrusor overactivity (NDO). Methods: We reviewed the data of 32 inpatients who received BTX-A injections between August 2014 to July 2016. Their mean age was 27.4 years old (range: 19 - 38). They were all on clean intermittent catheterization. All patients presented detrusor overactivity resistant to oral anticholinergic treatment. Results: There were significant difference between outcomes at baseline and week12 for P_detmax (60.08 cmH₂O vs. 28.04 cmH₂O, P < 0.001), VFIDC (165.55 ml vs. 276.07, P < 0.001), and urinary incontinence respectively. Prompt psychological counseling and nursing help reduce the patients’ passive psychology, enhance their confidence with good postoperative recovery and symptoms improvement. Conclusions: Patients were satisfied with the treatment and nursing by targeted perioperative nursing.
