Interstitial Cystitis
Interstitial Cystitis and Dietary Interventions: A Systematic Review.
- Details
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is prevalent and disrupts daily life. Dietary modification is commonly recommended, but evidence is fragmented. We systematically compared dietary interventions; we hypothesized that individualized elimination may improve symptoms, but overall randomized evidence remains limited.
Repeated intravesical platelet-rich plasma injections alleviate symptoms via T-cell modulation and mitochondrial dysfunction in non-ulcer interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome.
- Details
Repeated intravesical injections of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) have shown promise in alleviating symptoms of non-ulcer interstitial cystitis bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
Transurethral Injection of Autologous Micronized Adipose Tissue for Refractory Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome: A Retrospective Pilot Study.
- Details
Background/Objectives: Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic condition characterized by pelvic pain, urinary symptoms, and reduced quality of life, with limited effective treatment options.
Physiotherapeutic Management of Painful Bladder Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis: A Systematic Review of the Literature.
- Details
Painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC) is a chronic pelvic pain condition with unclear etiology that significantly affects quality of life. Although physiotherapeutic interventions are considered low-risk conservative options and may be incorporated into multimodal management in selected patients, evidence regarding their effectiveness remains limited.
Signaling pathways related to interstitial cystitis.
- Details
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) represents a chronic, non-infectious inflammatory bladder disorder, predominantly affecting women. Primary symptoms include ongoing pelvic pain, frequent urination, and urgency, often accompanied by functional somatic pain syndromes and psychological health disturbances.
Evaluating Interstitial Cystitis Content on TikTok: A Cross-sectional Analysis.
- Details
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a common, stigmatizing, and poorly understood condition. With more people turning to TikTok for health information, it is important to assess the quality of IC/BPS-related content on this platform, which has not been studied to date.
Lived experiences of women with interstitial cystitis.
- Details
Interstitial cystitis significantly affects women's overall well-being. Limited research has explored the lived experiences of women with interstitial cystitis from a qualitative perspective.
To explore the lived experiences of women diagnosed with interstitial cystitis and to understand its multidimensional impacts on daily life.
Gut Microbiome-Driven Microglial Activation Links Dysbiosis to Pain in Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome.
- Details
Background Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a debilitating condition of chronic pelvic pain associated with urinary frequency and comorbid anxiety and depression. Recent studies in IC/BPS patients and rodent models implicate fecal dysbiosis and increased systemic exposure to endotoxin.
Effects of Different Cystoscopic Bladder Conditions on the Therapeutic Outcomes of Intravesical Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections in Patients with Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome.
- Details
Patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) may present with different cystoscopic bladder conditions. The current study investigated the treatment outcomes of repeated intravesical platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for various bladder conditions.
Bladder Pain Syndrome: Rapid Evidence Review.
- Details
Bladder pain syndrome is a chronic condition characterized by bladder pain associated with other urologic symptoms. It is a diagnosis of exclusion. Initial evaluation of suspected bladder pain syndrome includes a thorough history, physical examination, urinalysis, and urine culture, with cystoscopy reserved for further assessment.
