Filter by:This is a pilot randomized control trial of 30 women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome to determine the feasibility of delivering a hypnosis intervention or usual care on bladder pain (primary outcome) and cerebral blood flow (secondary outcome). Women in the hypnosis group will undergo treatment with three hypnotherapy sessions in addition to a mobile web-based hypnosis application. Neuroimagning (fMRI) will occur after the first follow up visit.
This study is a randomized controlled trial. Subject population is adult patients with Hunner-type interstitial cystitis. The objective of this study is to compare the therapeutic effect between the two surgical modality; TUF (transurethral fulguration of the Hunner lesion) versus TUF+HD(addition of bladder hydrodistension prior to transurethral fulguration of the Hunner lesion).
In this protocol, investigators are examining the ability for a novel multiplex PCR assay with mixed floral antibiotic resistance profiling is safe and increases effective treatment for urinary tract infections in a urology clinic over traditional culture methods alone and decreases retreatment rates in this population.
A total of 40 volunteers women with a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis. Their ages ranged from 25 to 40 years old; their body mass index was > 30 kg/m2 and were randomly assigned to a group (A) received interferential current at the lower abdomen, and also received traditional medicine or group (B) received traditional medicine for 8 successive weeks. Both of the groups received the treatment program for 8 successive weeks. Assessment of pain perception and disability level for all patients in both groups (A&B) were done through Visual analogue scale, O'Leary-Sant Symptom Index or Interstitial Cystitis Index (ICSI) and blood cortisol concentration were done before and after the treatment program.
Related to urological and gynecological systems, patients with Bladdeer Pain Syndrome (BPS) often present pain, pressure and chronic discomfort in suprapubic and perineal area associated with low urinary tract symptoms. This condition can generates a negative impact in cognitive, social, behavioral and sexual quality of life. As Bladder Pain Syndrome originates from different causes and includes the genitourinary, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal and neuropsychological systems, a multidisciplinary approach is needed with doctors,physiotherapists, psychologists and others. Physiotherapeutic interventions are recommended as a conservative treatment for patients with BPS. The physiotherapeutic interventions include the use of Biofeedback to relax the pelvic floor muscles and manual therapy (myofascial trigger points release) to decrease muscle tension. Transcutaneous electrostimulation (TENS) is used to decrease the pain and postural exercises to improve the pelvic mobility. In this study, our hypothesis was that women with BPS presented musculoskeletal dysfunction, and we tested a different physiotherapy approach that was not being used. The reason for that understanding was the presence of refractory urinary and pain symptoms notwithstanding the physiotherapy conventional treatment, such as manual therapy and biofeedback. To test our hypothesis, we decided to add either TENS or postural exercises to the conventional treatment. The objective of this study was to verify the effects of biofeedback (BF) and manual therapy (MT) associated with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) or postural exercises (PE) in the treatment of bladder pain syndrome (BPS) in women regarding pain and urinary symptoms.
This is a prospective cohort study to investigate differences in the bladder environment (i.e. urinary microbiome) amongst women with interstitial cystitis (IC) before and after undergoing mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) treatment, including yoga and meditation practices.
The investigators observed 12 fibromyalgia and interstitial cystitis patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen oxygen treatment in a multiplace pressure chamber for 90 minutes, 40 treatment each, using an oro-nasal mask.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of LESW on participants with IC/BPS
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a condition that results in long-term bladder and pelvic pain. IC/BPS affects women more often than men. How the disorder develops is not completely known. Bladder instillation is a commonly used treatment in which a mixture of different ingredients are passed into the bladder to help IC/BPS symptoms. There is room to learn more about bladder instillations and which ingredients in them work best. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a bladder instillation that contains a steroid (triamcinolone acetonide) to a bladder instillation that does not contain a steroid to treat IC/BPS in women. The study hypothesis is that women with IC/BPS treated with bladder instillations that contain a steroid will have improved outcomes compared to women treated with bladder instillations that do not contain a steroid.
The efficacy and safety of intravesical hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate after transurethral resection of Hunner lesion in interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome patients. To analyze the number and timing of recurrence based on a long-term follow-up.
