1 - 9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . A method for reducing pelvic pain in a patient in need thereof, the method comprising administering a botulinum toxin to the bladder of the patient, thereby reducing the pelvic pain. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the patient is a human. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the botulinum toxin is a botulinum toxin type A. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the botulinum toxin is administered in a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation selected from the group consisting of: a liquid, a cream, an emulsion, a suspension, and a solution. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the botulinum toxin is administered in an amount of up to 2500 units. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the botulinum toxin is administered in an injectable, pharmaceutically acceptable formulation selected from the group consisting of a liquid, a cream, an emulsion, a suspension, and a solution. 
     
     
         16 . A method for reducing pelvic pain in a patient in need thereof, the method comprising administering a botulinum toxin type A; in an amount of up to 2500 units, to the urinary tract of the patient, thereby reducing the pelvic pain. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the patient is a human. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the botulinum toxin type A is administered in a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation selected from the group consisting of: a liquid, a cream, an emulsion, a suspension, and a solution. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the botulinum toxin is administered in an injectable, pharmaceutically acceptable formulation selected from the group consisting of a liquid, a cream, an emulsion, a suspension, and a solution.
