Optimizing Psychosocial Treatment of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Psychosocial Treatment and Attention Control for Chronic Interstitial Cystitis and 10 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 78 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a severe pain condition affecting 3-8 million people in the United States lacking treatments that work. Emotional suffering is common in IC/BPS and known to make physical symptoms worse, and studies show patient sub-groups respond differently to treatment. By creating and testing a psychosocial intervention specific to IC/BPS, we will learn if this intervention improves patient wellness, who the intervention works best for, and how the body's pain processing influences outcomes.
