Clinical Trial Summary

In this randomized controlled trial, we intend to determine whether electrical pudendal nerve stimulation is more effective than intravesical instillation in urethral pain syndrome.


Clinical Trial Description

According to the 2017 edition of European Association of Urology Guideline, there is no specific treatment for urethral pain syndrome (UPS), and it is recommended this type of patients should be treated in a multi-disciplinary and multi-modal program. Since some mechanisms for the development of UPS suggest it may be a form of bladder pain syndrome (BPS) due to the intimate relation of the urethra with the bladder (both covered with urothelium), a combination of intravesical hyaluronic acid and lidocaine plus sodium bicarbonate, the more widely used regimen for BPS in China, is also applied to UPS here in China. However, the symptom relief of the intravesical irrigation won't last long and patients usually report recurrence in 2-3 weeks. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore whether the electrical pudendal nerve stimulation(EPNS), which has been proven effective in treating BPS, is more effective than intravesical instillation (intravesical hyaluronic acid and lidocaine plus sodium bicarbonate) in patients with UPS. ;
