Testing a device for bladder pain and pelvic floor tightness
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a device called Hyivy Floora for people with interstitial cystitis (bladder pain) and high-tone pelvic floor dysfunction (tight pelvic muscles). It may help by relaxing the pelvic muscles to reduce pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are biologically female
- You have been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome
- You have been diagnosed with high-tone pelvic floor dysfunction (tight pelvic floor muscles)
- You have pelvic pain that is at least 5 out of 10 on a pain scale
- You are willing and able to insert an intravaginal device yourself
- You agree not to start any new treatments for your condition during the 12-week study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two treatments for chronic pelvic pain caused by tight pelvic floor muscles: a daily muscle relaxant pill (cyclobenzaprine) or a vibrating massage wand. The goal is to see which works better alongside pelvic floor physical therapy.
This trial studies a non-hormonal intravaginal device to reduce pelvic pain from endometriosis over about 12 weeks. It’s for people already on steady hormone treatment, who will pause starting any new treatments during the study.
This trial tests a treatment that uses gentle electrical stimulation through the vagina to reduce long-term pelvic pain caused by tight pelvic floor muscles. You might join if your pain has lasted over 6 months and exam shows specific muscle “trigger points.”
This trial tests whether adding ultrasound and muscle-activity feedback to standard pelvic floor exercises helps women with pelvic floor problems like organ prolapse, stress incontinence, or difficulty emptying the bladder.
This trial tests whether gentle vibrations can improve pelvic floor muscle strength and tone in healthy women. It may help strengthen these muscles without invasive treatments.
This trial tests whether a wearable sensor for the bladder can help guide pelvic health physical therapy. It is designed for people who are already referred to pelvic PT, including postpartum women and men who have had prostate surgery.
