Interstitial Cystitis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Investigation of the Effectiveness of Acupuncture in Patients Diagnosed With Interstitial Cystitis
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome is a non-bacterial chronic inflammatory disease of the bladder characterized by lower urinary tract symptoms such as dysuria, irritating urgency, and nocturia, as well as pelvic pain associated with bladder filling. The International Continence Society (ICS) defines bladder pain syndrome as "a complaint of suprapubic pain due to bladder filling accompanied by urinary system symptoms such as increased daytime and nighttime urinary frequency as a result of the exclusion of proven urinary infection or other obvious pathologies." Acupuncture is an important treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for more than 2500 years and is performed by placing needles at specific points on the skin. In the literature, clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture in Interstitial Cystitis and its effectiveness in relieving symptoms has been demonstrated. In the light of these data, our aim in our multi-centered study is to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture in relieving symptoms and improving the quality of life in patients diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis. In our study, patients who applied to the Urology Clinic between 01.02.2024 and 01.07.2024 with pelvic pain or discomfort lasting more than 6 months and lower urinary tract symptoms such as frequent urination, dysuria and nocturia will be examined and evaluated with suspicion of Interstitial Cystitis diagnosis.

Primary | O'Leary-Saint symptom score | The O'Leary-Saint symptom score is also known as the Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index and Interstitial Cystitis Problem Index (ICPI). That assesses the 4 core symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis (bladder pain, urgency, frequent urination, and nocturia) by asking the patient how often each is experienced. In this evaluation, the patient is asked to rate the 4 basic symptoms in the Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index from 0 to 5, according to the patient's complaint, and the 4 basic problems in the Interstitial Cystitis Problem Index from 0 to 4.The goal of this instrument is to evaluate and diagnose patients with IC. The O'Leary-Sant instrument is comprised of a Symptom Index (score range: 0-20 points) and a Problem Index (score range: 0-16 points), each of which contains four questions related to urinary and pain symptoms. For each index, the score is calculated by summing the points for each item. On either index, a score =6 points indicates Interstitial Cystitis. | 1. 6. ve 12. month |
