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. By creating and testing a psychosocial intervention specific to IC/BPS, we will learn if this intervention improves patient wellness, who the intervention works best for, and how the body's pain processing influences outcomes.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in the Genitourinary Pain Index (GUPI) 2 Months | The Genitourinary Pain Index measures genitourinary symptom severity in both men and women. It is comprised of three subscales: pain, urinary symptoms, and impact on quality of life. The total score ranges from 0-35, with 0 being the lowest severity of symptoms and 35 being the highest. | baseline to 2 months | |
Primary | Change in the Genitourinary Pain Index (GUPI) 5 Months | The Genitourinary Pain Index measures genitourinary symptom severity in both men and women. It is comprised of three subscales: pain, urinary symptoms, and impact on quality of life. The total score ranges from 0-35, with 0 being the lowest severity of symptoms and 35 being the highest. | baseline to 5 months | |
Secondary | Change in Depressive Symptoms Measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) | The eight-item Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale (PHQ-8) is established as a valid diagnostic and severity measure for depressive disorders in large clinical studies. It consists of 8 questions where participants indicate on a Likert scale the extent to which they have experienced symptoms of depression within the past two weeks, with 0 being "not at all" and 3 being "nearly every day." Cumulative scores range from 0-24, with cutoff points for none, mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe marked at 5, 10, 15, and 20. | baseline, 2 months (after treatment is complete), 5 months | |
Secondary | The Widespread Pain Index (Derived From CHOIR Bodymap) | The Widespread Pain Index measures the location(s) of chronic pain complaints and widespread body pain. Widespread pain was assessed using the Collaborative Health Outcomes Information Registry (CHOIR) bodymap, condensed into a Widespread Pain Index (WPI) score assessing 19 potential body pain areas. Scores on the WPI range from 0-19, with one point given for each potential body pain area endorsed; higher scores indicate higher widespread pain. The WPI was coupled with the Fibromyalgia Symptom Scale (FSS) below, a 7-item questionnaire, to calculate the American College of Rheumatology classification criteria for fibromyalgia, and assess fibromyalgia symptom severity (higher scores indicate higher symptom severity). The WPI total (0-19) can be combined with the FSS (0-12) in a sum total score (0-31) to assess the degree of a person's widespread pain and fibromyalgia symptom severity, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome. | baseline, 2 months (after treatment is complete), 5 months | |
Secondary | Fibromyalgia Symptom Scale (FSS) | 7-item questionnaire assessing modified 2010 American College of Rheumatology diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia and includes a) an index of widespread pain and b) an index of symptom severity via patient self-report. The FSS is the index of symptom severity and can range from 0-12. Higher scores indicate higher symptom severity, a worse outcome. When combined with the WPI score above, a total score on this scale (WPI + FSS) ranges from 0-31, with scores = 13 indicating a high likelihood of fibromyalgia. | baseline, 2 months (after treatment is complete), 5 months | |
Secondary | Change in Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms Measured by PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) With Criterion A | The PTSD Checklist for the DSM-5 measures post-traumatic stress. It utilizes the symptom checklist for PTSD in the DSM-5 and inquires about trauma-induced thoughts and behaviors in the past month. The total score ranges from 0-80, with 31-33 and above indicating probable diagnosis of PTSD. | baseline, 2 months (after treatment is complete), 5 months | |
Secondary | Change in Anxiety Symptoms Measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) Questionnaire | The Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) questionnaire is a self-administered 7 item instrument that uses some of the DSM-V criteria for GAD to identify probable cases of GAD along with measuring anxiety symptom severity. Questions are on a 4-point Likert scale, with 0 being "not at all sure" and 3 being "nearly every day." Cumulative scoring is tiered from minimal anxiety (0-4) to mild anxiety (5 to 9) to moderate anxiety (10-14) to severe anxiety (15-21). | baseline, 2 months (after treatment is complete), 5 months | |
Secondary | Difference in Response to Treatment/Perceived Improvement and Quality of Life Between Groups as Measured by the Patient Global Impression of Change Scale (PGIC) | Patient Global Impression of Improvement measures the response of a condition to an intervention. Patients rate their impression of change on a Likert scale ranging from 1-7 with 1 being "No change/condition has gotten worse" to 7 being "a great deal better and a considerable improvement that has made all the difference." This scale was administered at post-treatment and follow-up only. | 2 months (after treatment is complete), 5 months | |
Secondary | Quantitative Sensory Testing (Optional) - Threshold Average | Psychophysical testing methods replicated existing protocols used at VUMC and include the following elements: 1) an evaluation of temporal summation (as a biomarker for central sensitization), 2) thermal pain threshold and tolerance. Thermal measures involved four pain threshold trials, followed by four pain tolerance trials, with the probe applied to slightly different target sites for each trial to avoid local sensitization. Means for the four threshold and tolerance trials are separately derived, and threshold is reported here. Scores range from 0 = "No Pain or Warmth" to 100 = "Worst Possible Pain", with higher scores indicating a higher pain threshold. | baseline | |
Secondary | Quantitative Sensory Testing (Optional) - Tolerance Average | Psychophysical testing methods replicated existing protocols used at VUMC and include the following elements: 1) an evaluation of temporal summation (as a biomarker for central sensitization), 2) thermal pain threshold and tolerance. Thermal measures involved four pain threshold trials, followed by four pain tolerance trials, with the probe applied to slightly different target sites for each trial to avoid local sensitization. Means for the four threshold and tolerance trials are separately derived, and tolerance is reported here. Scores range from 0 = "No Pain or Warmth" to 100 = "Worst Possible Pain", with higher scores indicating a higher pain tolerance. | baseline | |
Secondary | Quantitative Sensory Testing - Temporal Summation (Slope) | Psychophysical testing methods will replicate existing protocols used at VUMC and include the following elements: 1) an evaluation of temporal summation (as a biomarker for central sensitization), 2) thermal pain threshold and tolerance. Regarding temporal summation: in each sequence, immediately after each heat pulse, subjects provide a verbal numeric pain intensity rating on a 0-100 scale (0 = "No Pain or Warmth" and 100 = "Worst Possible Pain"). The standardized slope of the line fitted to the series of 10 pulses at each temperature indexes temporal summation and serves as a quantitative marker of central sensitization. These slopes reflected the relationship between pain and pulse, representing average pain increase for each unit increase in pulse. | Baseline |
