Pain type and bladder pain syndrome treatment study
Part of Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for genetic (inherited) causes of bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), using information from people who have typical urinary symptoms. It may help doctors understand why IC/BPS happens, which could guide better future 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 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 acupuncture can help relieve pain and pressure from bladder pain syndrome (also called interstitial cystitis). Researchers want to see if using acupuncture early can improve symptoms better than usual care.
This study looks for genetic (inherited) factors behind chronic pelvic pain and related urinary and sexual symptoms. You may be able to help researchers by providing a few samples and answering short questions, which could improve understanding of these conditions.
This Phase 2 trial tests VNX001 to see if it helps people with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) compared with its separate ingredients (lidocaine and heparin) or a placebo (inactive treatment). You may be eligible if you have had IC/BPS for months and recently had a moderate-to-severe bladder pain flare.
