Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if acupuncture in addition to behavioral changes can better treat in women with bladder pain syndrome (also known as interstitial cystitis) that have not received other treatments. The main question it aims to answer is: Does acupuncture improve pain symptoms on the Interstitial Cystitis Index? Researchers will compare six (6) weeks behavioral management alone to behavioral management and acupuncture. Participants will - complete surveys about their bladder pain symptoms - make behavioral changes that have been shown to improve bladder pain symptoms - attend six (6) weekly acupuncture sessions - attend six (6) weekly physical therapy sessions after finishing acupuncture
The correlation of safety and effectiveness between intravesical platelet-rich plasma injection in patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder-A retrospective study to evaluate the correlation of safety and effectiveness between intravesical platelet-rich plasma injection of IC/BPS, with age of at least 20-84 years old in Taiwan of either sex with IC/BPS symptoms and proven of IC by cystoscopic hydrodistention. Patients who meet all eligibility requirements for entry into the study of intravesical PRP injection.
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a severe pain condition affecting 3-8 million people in the United States lacking treatments that work. Emotional suffering is common in IC/BPS and known to make physical symptoms worse, and studies show patient sub-groups respond differently to treatment. Individuals with IC/BPS have distinct subgroups, or "phenotypes," largely characterized by the distribution of pain throughout the body. Supported by our preliminary evidence, the overall goal of this project is to assess how IC/BPS phenotype may affect response to two different therapies often given without regard to patient phenotype, pelvic floor physical therapy (PT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for IC/BPS.
This study was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical study planned to enroll 60 patients who developed hemorrhagic cystitis after sexually allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation Patients with hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were given symptomatic supportive treatment combined with moxibustion covering Shenque, Zhongguo, Guanyuan, and Qihai for 30 minutes every day for 14 days and urine routine was collected every day for 14 days to assess the severity of hemorrhagic cystitis and pain scores to evaluate the effectiveness of moxibustion in treating hemorrhagic cystitis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
This study was a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical study planned to recruit 254 hematological patients with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), who were randomly divided into two groups according to gender, type of transplantation, and type of primary disease. The control group was treated conventionally, and the experimental group increased moxibustion of Zhongji, Guanyuan and Qihai for 30 min qd starting on the first day after HSCT was performed until the 14th day after transplantation. Urine routine was collected daily before cyclophosphamide administration until +14d, and blood/urine BK virus, JC virus, and adenovirus were tested at four time points: +1d, +14 days, appearance of hematuria symptom, and remission of HC, and urine routine was tested once every 7 days for all patients within three months, and severity grading should be performed for patients with Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC), pain scores, and the main TCM evidence profile, aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of moxibustion in preventing HC in this group of patients.
Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) is a clinical syndrome in which patients report symptoms of bladder and/or pelvic pain with pressure and/or discomfort associated with urinary frequency and urgency. The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of amniotic membrane therapy in patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) as defined by clinically-significant improvement in validated symptom questionnaires.

The objective of this study is to test the idea that Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy will serve as a safe therapeutic modality that can effectively be administered simultaneously with bladder instillations of a bupivacaine-heparin cocktail to improve the chronic pain and/or associated symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) patients. The study team will distribute the PEMF device to female adults with IC/BPS who have been prescribed bladder instillations of bupivacaine-heparin to see if PEMF therapy in conjunction with bladder instillations of heparin and bupivacaine may be more effective in reducing pain levels and symptomatology of IC/BPS than instillations alone.
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is one of the most intractable diseases of Urogynecology. The main clinical manifestations of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain are frequent urination and severe overflowing bladder pain. Due to the unclear pathological mechanism and the diversity of clinical manifestations and pathological features of the disease, the diagnosis is mainly to exclude suspicious diseases. At present, IC/BPS treatment mainly includes oral administration of mast cell stabilizing drugs such as sodium pentosan sulfate and anticholinergic drugs, or bladder instillation of dimethyl sulfone, hyaluronic acid and other drugs directly acting on the bladder mucosa, or surgical treatment such as sacrospinal radiculotomy and peripheral denervation of the bladder, but all can only relieve clinical symptoms and improve quality of life, and can not be targeted etiological treatment according to the pathological mechanism. Research showed JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) virus may be the original pathogen causing the development of IC/BPS. Interferon, as a broad-body antiviral agent, plays a critical role in triggering innate and adaptive immune responses against viral replication and infection. It can inhibit the replication and transcription of JCPyV through a variety of pathways. Interferon may be a potential specific drug for IC/BPS. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of interferon bladder perfusion for IC/BPS.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of administering auricular acupressure for patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), and evaluating the efficacy of auricular acupressure to reduce pain scores and decrease pain medication usage over time.
