Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether tanezumab is effective in the treatment of pain associated with chronic prostatitis.
Completion of a brief survey tool and providing an urine specimen. The study purpose is to improve our understanding of interstitial cystitis and painful pelvic syndrome.
The aim of the present study is to investigate whether women taking a new combined oral contraceptive pill (SH T00658ID, estradiol valerate/dienogest) experience fewer hormone withdrawal-associated symptoms such as pelvic pain or headache during their monthly cycle compared to a commonly used contraceptive pill (Microgynon).
Interstitial cystitis (IC)/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a clinical syndrome of pelvic pain and/or urinary urgency/frequency in absence of a specific cause such as bacterial infection or damage to the bladder. The pathogenetic mechanisms of IC/CPPS are as yet undefined and it is largely this lack of knowledge, which precludes a systematic therapeutic approach. Experimental evidence, including results from the animal models of cystitis and the knock-out mice, indicate a participation of tachykinin receptors, especially the NK1R, in neurogenic inflammation, which is considered an important element of the IC complex. However, there is very scant information about the molecular mechanisms of IC in humans, or of the types of receptors, which participate in neurogenic inflammation. Based on our molecular biological know-how and the clinical expertise, we propose to investigate the role of the tachykinin and bradykinin receptors and their signalling partners in CPPS and bladder dysfunction in humans.
The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of silodosin 4 and 8 mg once daily with placebo in the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe abacterial chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome during a 12 week treatment period. The secondary objective is to compare the safety of silodosin 4 and 8 mg once daily with placebo.
This is a single-centre, open-label, within patient comparison study to assess the efficacy and safety of Decapeptyl SR when administered in combination with Livial for the treatment of women with chronic cyclical pelvic pain. This will be for a 2 year period with a 6 month post treatment follow up. The study aims to recruit 40 patients.
Treatment of chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is challenging for patients and physicians once conventional therapies fail. We hypothesize that combined sono-electro-magnetic therapy can improve refractory CPPS in men.
Prostatitis is the most common urologic diagnosis in men under the age of 50 and the third most common diagnosis in older men. In Chronic Prostatitis (CP) or Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS), men have lower urinary tract symptoms, pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction and decreased quality of life. Little is known about the cause of CP/CPPS. Likewise, no definitive therapy exists for CP/CPPS. We plan to study the use of CC-10004 in men with CP/CPPS.
Treatment of chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is challenging for patients and physicians once conventional therapies fail. We hypothesize that combined sono-electro-magnetic therapy can improve refractory CPPS in men. In addition, we postulate that combined sono-electro-magnetic therapy as well as placebo therapy has a significant effect on brain activity detectable by functional MRI.
Urologic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS), variably termed painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC) in females and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome in men (CP/CPPS), is a chronic, debilitating clinical syndrome presenting as severe pelvic pain with extreme urinary urgency and frequency in the absence of any known cause. The etiologic mechanisms underlying UCPPS are unknown, but recurrence, risks to siblings of affected individuals, concordance among monozygotic twins, and our own preliminary studies indicate a strong genetic contribution to the cause of UCPPS. The overall goal of this proposal is use novel approaches to understand the basis of UCPPS, to identify candidate genes containing mutations that result in UCPPS and determine how the different encoded proteins of these genes interact with one another in a common biological pathway. Ultimately, understanding how mutations in at least five different genes yield the symptoms of UCPPS should lead to improved diagnosis and possible therapies.
