The Study is Being Conducted to Find a New Treatment for Patients Suffering From Interstitial Cystitis Without Hunner's Lesions.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Neovasculgen in interstitial cystitis and the prevention of secondary bladder shrinkage with a decrease in its volume.

Evaluation of Hyivy Floora in Managing Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome/High-tone Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the Floora Pelvic Rehabilitation Vaginal Dilator in females with Interstitial Cystitis/ Bladder pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) and High-tome Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (HTPFD). After enrollment, participants will be given a Floora device and will be instructed to use the device at least three times per week for 12-weeks in the comfort of their home. Each session consists of 10 minutes of heat and 10 minutes of dilation. All participants will be required to attend 3 in-person clinic visits and there will be two follow-up phone-calls throughout the 16-week trial period.

Pain Type and Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome Treatment

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. Individuals with IC/BPS have distinct subgroups, or "phenotypes," largely characterized by the distribution of pain throughout the body. Supported by our preliminary evidence, the overall goal of this project is to assess how IC/BPS phenotype may affect response to two different therapies often given without regard to patient phenotype, pelvic floor physical therapy (PT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for IC/BPS.
