Filter by:This is a pilot clinical investigation. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria and provide signed informed consent will be randomized to receive either an active product (Uracyst®) or placebo intravesically via a bladder catheter weekly for 6 weeks, followed by 6 weeks of follow-up period.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate changes in pain, urgency and urinary frequency following administration of URG101 compared to placebo.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a randomized trial of physical therapy for pelvic pain is feasible.
Interstitial cystitis (IC) affects more than one million women in the United States. It has been thought that IC patients who have been unable to obtain adequate relief from medical remedies would value a psychotherapeutic intervention that could diminish some of their pain. There are currently no studies using biomarkers with the use of a relaxation technique called guided imagery in IC patients. Many guided imagery intervention studies in areas such as cancer, post-operative pain, and arthritis reported that guided imagery resulted in improvements in the psychological or physiological outcomes examined. If this is also true in IC patients, this intervention may prevent the use of unnecessary medications and procedures that are currently being used.
Comprehensive database from the Women's Urology Center/WISH (Women's Initiative for Pelvic Pain and Sexual Health) program at Beaumont.
The purpose of initiating the Urology Database is to evaluate the outcomes of urology procedures and medical management to enhance the care and treatment of urology patients.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 8 weeks of treatment with MN-001 at 500 mg bid, 500 mg once daily vs. placebo in patients with Interstitial Cystitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravesical U101 (alkalinized lidocaine-heparin) treatment reduces the symptoms of pelvic pain and/or urgency of bladder origin.
EPIC is a case/control study that seeks to identify the risk factors for interstitial cystitis by comparing the experiences and medical histories of 400 women who recently developed IC with 400 similar people who do not have the disease.
The cause of interstitial cystitis is unknown. However, it tends to run in some families suggesting that there may be a genetic susceptibility to the disease. For instance, the disease is found 17 times more commonly in first-degree relatives (parent, sibling, or child) of patients with interstitial cystitis than in the general population. Furthermore, if one twin has interstitial cystitis, the disease is much more common in identical co-twins than fraternal co-twins. This evidence suggests that, in some families, genes that make a person susceptible to interstitial cystitis are being passed from one generation to the next. The University of Maryland School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health are performing a study to identify these genes for susceptibility for interstitial cystitis. This study is entitled the Maryland Genetics of Interstitial Cystitis (MaGIC) study. The MaGIC study will investigate several hundred families with two or more blood relatives with interstitial cystitis. The study will seek to find changes in genes that are found far more commonly in family members who have interstitial cystitis than in those who do not have the disease.Identifying these genes should lead to a better understanding of the cause of interstitial cystitis. Finding the cause is the first step to finding the cure. This is a national study which is conducted by telephone and mail, and in which you can participate entirely from your home.
