Comparison of voiding dysfunction phenotypes in women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain and myofascial pelvic pain: Results from the ICEPAC trial
Urology Jan 26, 2019
Petrikovets A, et al. - In this prospective cohort study (ICEPAC), researchers assessed the variations in voiding parameters among females with common overlapping pelvic pain disorders, interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and myofascial pelvic pain (MPP). They observed the lower voided volumes in IC/BPS and IC/BPS+MPP groups ie, 185±24 mL, 169±20 mL, respectively as compared to healthy control (HC) and MPP groups ie, 294 ±24 mL, 226 ±36 mL, respectively. They recorded more pain with a full bladder in candidates with IC/BPS despite similar overall pain scores. Overall, they did not find any significant variation in peak and average flow rates between IC/BPS and MPP cases.
