There is no consensus of the therapeutic efficacy and safety between suburothelial injection and trigonal injection of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) in treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) It is unmet to clarify which injection method is superior in clinical efficacy and patient safety. This study was designed in a randomized, double-blind trial to test the therapeutic effects and adverse events between intravesical BoNTA injection into suburothelium and trigone. The results of this study might provide clinical evidence for a better therapeutic regimen of BoNT-A in the treatment of IC/PBS.
Women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) have debilitating urinary frequency and urgency, and chronic pelvic or bladder pain perceived to be related to the bladder. Although many clinicians think that IC/BPS symptoms result from a bladder problem, tight pelvic floor muscles can cause similar symptoms and might be responsible for ICBPS symptoms instead of the bladder. Inadequate assessment of the problem leads to delays in treatment and often years of suffering. This clinical trial will test a bladder directed therapy (bladder instillations) compared to a course of pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) to assess the role of the pelvic floor as a major contributor to pelvic pain and voiding dysfunction in adult women with non-ulcerative IC/BPS. Early assessment of the pelvic floor muscles in patients with IC/BPS symptoms may prevent common delays in proper diagnosis and allow for early, more effective treatment.
This is a prospective pilot study, with a recruitment goal of 60 patients. Patients who are female, above the age of 18, and with a diagnosis of IC/BPS based on clinical criteria and O'Leary Sant ICPI and ICSI scores undergoing cystoscopy, hydrodistention and bladder biopsy will be included. The bladder biopsies will be evaluated for TLR4 expression, and sent for histological assessment of mast cell count. Additionally, data will be collected at baseline, day of surgery, day 7, day 14 and day 28. Data will include validated questionnaires, lower urinary tract symptoms, and recorded pain medication use.
Patients receiving radiation therapy are still at risk for side effects due to off-target radiation damage of normal tissues The number of cancer patients is expected to increase from 14.1 million around the world in 2012 to 19.3 million in 2025. Up to ten percent will develop late severe gastrointestinal complications (i.e. Pelvic Radiation Disease - PRD). Symptoms are proctopathy (5-20%) and radiation-induced cystitis (3,5%) that affect quality of life. The treatment of PRD is limited to managing the symptoms; new alternatives should be proposed. Clinical trials using MSCs to treat hemorrhagic cystitis, proctopathy have demonstrated the feasibility to used MSCs in these pathologies : - MSCs successfully repair hemorrhagic cystitis, and perforated colon in patients with hemorrhagic cystitis, perforated colon and peritonitis. - Six clinical trials are currently ongoing for proctopathy, 3 are phase III. Results suggest an inhibition of chronic inflammation and fistulization and interruption of hemorrhagic syndromes. - Clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of MSCs to treat hemorrhagic cystitis is in progress. - A decrease in pain after the injection of MSCs was observed in patients treated by radiotherapy for breast cancer, radiation burns, and radiotherapy over-dosage. - Four patients, were treated with MSCs after receiving overdose pelvic irradiation for prostate cancer. A decrease in pain (EN score), bleeding and diarrhea was observed. MSCs will represent a promising alternative strategy in the treatment of severe enteritis, rectitis and cystitis after radiotherapy, and may avoid surgical treatment and may diminish the adverse effect of PRD in terms of chronicity, morbidity, mortality and health costs.
A prospective double blind randomized study comparing placenta derived decidual stromal cells with placebo for hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. It is hypothesized that the decidual stromal cell therapy will be superior to placebo.
Patients with Interstitial Cystitis / PBS will be treated with bladder thermal distention (BTD).
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.
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.
