Objective: To compare intravesical resiniferatoxin(RTX) and verapamil in the treatment of female overactive bladder (OAB).

Results: Compared with the verapamil group, the RTX group showed significantly better efficacies and safety profiles.
Conclusions: RTX, when intravesically instilled, can alleviate female OAB symptoms more safely and effectively.
