Filter by:This initial pilot project aims to study the use of FDA-approved 40mg triamcinolone injections in the bladder for the management of interstitial cystitis with or without Hunner's lesions. Intradetrusor triamcinolone injections are already the standard of care for IC patients with Hunner's lesions, but its role in management of IC without Hunner's lesions has yet to be determined. Triamcinolone is a long-acting corticosteroid that acts by inhibiting the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which may contribute to attenuation of inflammation in interstitial cystitis. We will recruit 27 females 18 years of age or older that have been diagnosed with IC/BPS. Patients will undergo a one-time cystoscopy along with the triamcinolone injections for IC management as a part of the research study. Validated questionnaires will be provided before the treatment to quantify symptoms at baseline and after treatment at follow-up visits. Follow up visits will occur in clinic every 4 to 6 weeks, which will continue for a maximum of 1 year. Scores at follow-up visits will be compared to baseline.
This study seeks to exploit bladder cannabidiol receptors as a therapeutic drug target by conducting a double-masked, placebo-controlled randomized trial evaluating the effects of vaginal hemp cannabidiol (CBD) suppositories on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), pain severity, and sexual function.
This research is being done to learn more about the bacteria that live in the genito-urinary tract in subjects with urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS).
The specific purpose of this study is to provide objective data in prospective open label design (n=40) to support the use of Mirabegron as a treatment for pain related urinary frequency and urgency. Women with bladder pain have a poor response to traditional anticholinergic therapy for their symptoms of frequency and urgency.
