Safety and Efficacy Study of VNX001 Compared to Its Individual Components (Lidocaine and Heparin)...
Interstitial CystitisBladder Pain SyndromeThis is a Phase 2, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, single-dose, pharmacodynamic study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination product (VNX001) versus placebo and its individual components (heparin sodium and lidocaine hydrochloride (HCl)) for the reduction of bladder pain in patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) / bladder pain syndrome (BPS).
Bacterial Composition and Recurrent Cystitis in Postmenopausal Women After Treatment With Lactobacilli....
Cystitis RecurrentLactobacillus InfectionThe goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect on the bacterial composition in the microbiome (the body's own bacteria) of urine, vagina and faeces after treatment with lactobacilli (lactobacilli's are a part of the microbiome), and its influence on repeated cystitis in postmenopausal women. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does treatment with lactobacilli change the composition of the urine microbiome in postmenopausal women? Does treatment with lactobacilli prevent repeated cystitis in postmenopausal women? Participants will be followed for 6 months. They will for 3 months receive a look-alike substance that contains no active drug and for the other 3 months tablets with lactobacilli. A computer program will decide what treatment the participant will begin with, and after 3 months she will be receiving the tablets, she did not get first. This way all participants receive both type of tablets and can be their own control. What type of tablet the participants is taking is unknown to both clinical staff and participants. The participants will come to the hospital for start-up, and every 1,5 moths for the next 6 months. They deliver faeces sample urine tests vaginal swab each time they are seen. When entering the study, they also complete health care questions on medication, earlier surgery, alcohol, tobacco, childbirths, weight, height etc. They make a drinking and voiding diary 3 times over the 6 months. When the study is over, alle the samples of faeces, urine and the vaginal swab will undergo analyzation for the bacterial composition in the microbiome, and differences in the microbiome when taking lactobacilli or not will be examined. The urine sample is controlled for bacteria known to give cystitis, and the influence on repeated cystitis will also be examined.
Motor Cortical Neuromodulation in Women With Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome
Interstitial CystitisBladder Pain SyndromeInterstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) is a common, chronic, and debilitating condition in women. Preliminary evidence suggests that IC/BPS pain can be reduced applying non-invasive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to areas of the brain that regulate pelvic floor muscle activity. However, prior studies have examined rTMS in a very limited sample and have not examined changes in brain or pelvic floor muscle activity to determine the mechanism of rTMS for IC/BPS. This study is designed to directly address these limitations.
A Multidisciplinary, Multimodal Bundled Care Approach to Chronic Pelvic Pain
Interstitial CystitisThe goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different treatment patterns in patients with chronic bladder pain. The main questions the investigators are seeking to answer is if bladder pain improves before and after treatment using a painful bladder scale. The participant will have 5 visits to evaluate your symptoms with questionnaires, at least one procedural visit, and must participate in physical therapy and some kind of behavioral health therapy. This study will assess participant response to a bundled-care approach to chronic bladder pain both pre-and post intervention as well as compared to a group of participants receiving typical care.
Peppermint Oil for the Treatment of Interstitial Cystitis / Bladder Pain Syndrome
Interstitial CystitisThe purpose of this study is to assess the use of peppermint oil as a treatment for Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS).
Mindfulness and Yoga for Pain With Interstitial Cystitis Evaluation
Interstitial CystitisThis study is examining impact of pain on daily life, the ability to function and treatments used for patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome before and after a program of mindfulness and yoga, in comparison to patients who are undergoing treatment with their providers.
Effects of Low-intensity Excoporeal Shock Wave Therapy (LiESWT) on Women With Pelvic Floor Dysfunction...
Overactive BladderStress Incontinence2 moreThis study needles female reproductive urinary tract, likely bladder hyperactivity, active urinary incontinence and interstitial cystitis, observation use of low-capacity seismic wave (LiESWT) therapy combined with combined platelet plasma (PRP), improved bone basin pain and female Urinary incontinence. LiESWT to arousal the clitoris angiogenesis to prevent female sexual dysfunction.
Assessment of Urinary Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Technology...
Interstitial CystitisBladder Pain SyndromeReal-world clinical practice multicenter study to determine the clinical implications of employing PCR/NGS technology to identify and treat potential urinary pathogens in female participants identified with bladder pain and/or cystitis-like symptoms.
What is the Optimal Technique for Hydrodistention?
Interstitial CystitisBladder Pain SyndromeThis research study is being done to learn what is the best way to perform hydrodistention. Eligible participants will be enrolled and have follow-up for three months after surgery. The study team hypothesizes that changes in hydrodistention technique, including pressure, number of distention, and duration of distention, leads to no or minimal changes in symptom improvement for patients with Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS).
Preventing Recurrent UTI With Vaginal Estrogen
Recurrent Urinary Tract InfectionUrinary Tract Infections1 moreAmong postmenopausal women who suffer from recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI), vaginal estrogen therapy prevents UTI recurrences for 50% of sufferers. This research will investigate why some women benefit but others do not, focusing on (a) the effects of vaginal estrogen therapy on the bacteria that inhabit the vagina and bladder, (b) its influence on immune responses in both compartments, and (c) the extent to which those changes are critical to successful UTI prevention. The findings will be a first step in the development of more effective strategies to prevent UTI, one of the most common and costly benign urologic conditions.
