PEMF therapy for women with painful bladder symptoms
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a device that uses gentle pulsed electromagnetic waves (PEMF) can reduce symptoms in women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). It may help if your symptoms are currently fairly severe and ongoing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a prior diagnosis of IC/BPS (painful bladder symptoms).
- Your current symptom score is 6 or higher on a 0–10 scale.
- You have had a bladder procedure called cystoscopy with hydrodistension to check bladder capacity.
- You do not have significant memory/thinking problems (no cognitive deficits).
- You have not had certain related conditions or treatments (like bladder/ovarian/vaginal cancer or radiation cystitis).
- You should not have a pacemaker or metal implant in place, and you are not currently pregnant.

This study is testing if the type of pain you feel can help predict which treatments work best for interstitial cystitis (a condition that causes bladder pain and pressure). It may help match you with more effective care.
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to learn how bladder pain syndrome affects the brain. It compares women with bladder pain to those without, to better understand symptoms and improve future treatments.
This early study tests a new medical system that measures pelvic and bladder pain patterns to help guide personalized botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections. It may help women with long-term bladder pain (interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome) by improving how accurately treatment targets the pain source.
This study tests a new treatment (VNX001) for people with interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). You must have already taken part in an earlier study of this drug to join. The goal is to see if it safely reduces bladder pain.
This trial tests whether peppermint oil can reduce symptoms of interstitial cystitis (also called bladder pain syndrome). It’s mainly looking at safety and early signs it may help your bladder discomfort.
