We characterized and compared the impact of clinical phenotypic associations between interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome controls in relation to potentially related conditions, particularly irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia chronic fatigue syndrome.Female patients with no completed a biopsychosocial phenotyping questionnaire battery which included demographics/history form, self-reported history associated 10 validated questionnaires focused on symptoms, suffering/coping...
Amitriptyline is frequently used to treat patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome. The evidence support this practice derived mainly from a small, single site clinical trial and case reports.We conducted multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled of amitriptyline in subjects syndrome who were naïve therapy. Study participants both treatment arms received standardized education behavioral modification program. drug dose was increased during 6-week period 10...
We characterized and compared psychosocial phenotypes in a female interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome cohort an age matched without that diagnosis.Female patients with controls the condition completed phenotyping questionnaire battery, including demographics/history form validated questionnaires focused on range of presenting symptoms, parameters quality life. Specific measures included cystitis symptom problem index, McGill Pain Questionnaire, Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale,...
The “Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain” (MAPP) Research Network was established by NIDDK better understand pathophysiology urologic chronic pelvic pain syndromes (UCPPS), inform future clinical trials and improve care. evolution, organization, scientific scope MAPP Network, unique approach network’s central study common data elements are described. primary protocol for Trans-MAPP Epidemiology/Phenotyping (EP) comprises a multi-site, longitudinal observational...
The pathophysiology of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome remains incompletely understood but is thought to involve central disturbance in the processing pain and viscerosensory signals. We identified differences brain activity connectivity between female patients with healthy controls advance clinical phenotyping treatment efforts for syndrome.
The clinician treating patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) needs to balance a variety of factors when making treatment decisions. In addition the patient's urologic symptoms and urodynamic findings, other issues that may influence management options include cognition, hand function, type neurologic disease, mobility, bowel function/management, social caregiver support. This Guideline allows understand available treat patients, findings can be seen in NLUTD,...

Several chronic pain conditions may be distinguished by condition specific brain anatomical and functional abnormalities on imaging, which are suggestive of underlying disease processes. We present what is to our knowledge the first characterization interstitial cystitis/bladder syndrome associated white matter (axonal) based multicenter neuroimaging from MAPP Research Network.
We described and compared the frequency type of lower urinary tract symptoms reported by men women at time that they were recruited from urology urogynecology clinics into Symptoms Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Research Network multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study.
Complex genomic rearrangements are common molecular events driving prostate carcinogenesis. Clinical significance, however, has yet to be fully elucidated. Detecting the full range and subtypes of large structural variants (SVs), greater than one kilobase in length, is challenging using clinically feasible next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. Next mapping (NGM) a new technology that allows for interrogation megabase length DNA molecules outside detection single-base resolution NGS....
Abstract Aims The aims of this study were to assess the completeness voiding diaries in a research context and correlate diary data with patient‐reported questionnaires. Methods Men women enrolled Symptoms Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Research Network (LURN) given 3‐day fluid‐intake fill‐out. Diaries assessed for intake‐output imbalances. They assigned one four categories based on percentage missing fluid imbalance: no submitted, unusable (>40% void or intake volumes, unphysiological...
