Testing hyaluronic acid injections for bladder pain syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if injecting hyaluronic acid into the bladder wall can safely reduce pain and other symptoms in people with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). It's for those who haven't gotten enough relief from other treatments.

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 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 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.
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 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 is testing a new treatment for people with painful bladder syndrome (interstitial cystitis) who do not have Hunner's lesions in their bladder. It aims to see if the treatment can help reduce pelvic pain and frequent urination.
