Filter by:The etiology of bladder pain syndrome is unknown. Therefore the management is directed to pain relief, as bladder pain is believed to drive both voiding frequency and nocturia. Botulinum toxin A has been shown to decrease noxious input. Several studies showed efficacy of botox for treatment of painful bladder. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Botulinum toxin in patients who are suffering bladder pain syndrome with Hunner lesions during cystoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of two doses of LP08 compared to placebo. Hypothesis: Safety of the LP-08 therapy will not be significantly different from the placebo group. Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: A matched-pair data analysis design will be employed, i.e. the measured outcomes will be subjects' improvements in quantitative and qualitative measures of the disease condition being assessed prior to and after LP-08 instillations at four and eight weeks follow-up visits
Purpose: 1. To demonstrate better symptoms control (pain, urinary urgency and frequency) with sacral neuromodulation (SNM) in patients with interstitial cystitis /painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) using a stimulation frequency of 40 hertz (experimental) compared to a frequency of 14 hertz (standard). 2. The evaluate the efficacy of the two frequency settings on the other associated conditions that often coexist in patients with IC/PBS, such as female sexual dysfunction (FSD), bowel dysfunction, high tone pelvic floor dysfunction (HTPFD, painful spasm of the pelvic floor muscles), Vulvodynia (pain at the opening of the vagina).
The proposed study will evaluate the effectiveness of Osteopathic manipulation of the sacro-iliac joint (SIJ) and the lumbar spine in symptomatic female interstitial cystitis (IC) patients with sacro-iliac joint dysfunction. It is predicted that Osteopathic manipulation for a period of 12 weeks will result in subjective indices of increased comfort and objective indices of lower O'Leary-Sant Questionnaire, Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PIFQ-7), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and SF-12 scores, lower visual analog scores for pain and urgency, decreased frequency on voiding diary and greater variation in resting/contraction perineometry scores.
The aim of this study is to check whether patients with cystoscopic findings supporting the diagnosis of Interstitial Cystitis (IC) have a higher autonomic response (change in blood pressure / pulse)than patients without cystoscopic findings.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate an investigational treatment for interstitial cystitis. Interstitial cystitis is a chronic bladder disease that includes the following symptoms: Urinary frequency during the day,urinary frequency at night, urinary urgency and bladder discomfort relieved by voiding. Presently, there is no cure for interstitial cystitis. The response to current treatments is poor. Patients with interstitial cystitis have a poorer quality of life. The cause of interstitial cystitis is unknown. This study is evaluating the drug Humira® (adalimumab) for improving the symptoms of patients with interstitial cystitis. Humira® is an injectable anti-inflammatory medication that has been available for use since December 31, 2002. Humira® has been FDA approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, and Crohn's disease. These diseases have similar characteristics to interstitial cystitis. This study will evaluate an investigational use of Humira® for the treatment of interstitial cystitis.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if adding cidofovir to the standard of care can improve symptoms of hemorrhagic cystitis caused by the BK virus as compared to standard of care alone. The safety of cidofovir will also be studied.
By hypothesising that Interstitial Cystitis is an allergic disorder of the urogenital system that is linked to mast-cells, current therapy with omalizumab may represent a potential non symptomatic strategy for the treatment of IC/BPS
Hypotheses: 1. The bidirectional signaling between the cortex, and the pelvic floor/gut is deranged in patients with IC and in IBS. Consequently, they will demonstrate hyperexcitability of the pelvic floor/brain axis as evidenced by shorter latencies and increased amplitudes for both the afferent anorectal-cortical evoked potentials and efferent cortically-induced (magnetic) anorectal motor evoked potentials. 2. Unlike patients with IC alone, patients with IBS will also demonstrate anorectal visceral hypersensitivity and anorectal sensory-motor dysfunction.
The study compares the analgesic efficacy of OXN PR vs placebo in opioid-naive subjects suffering from severe pain due to Bladder Pain Syndrome.
