OBJECTIVES: To characterise 3-year pelvic pain and urinary symptom trajectories and to identify baseline factors associated with urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS) improvement. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The Trans-Multidisciplinary Ap…

Cover: The cover image is from the Clinical Article Validation of a simple body map to measure widespread pain in urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome: A MAPP Research Network study by Clemens JQ, Locke K, Landis JR, et al. Neurourol Urody…

PURPOSE: In patients with urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS), the presence of widespread pain appears to identify a distinct phenotype, with a different symptom trajectory and potentially different response to treatment than pati…

INTRODUCTION: There has been a sparse exploration of the lived experience of men with urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS), and none with the goal of Investigating the experience of "flares" as part of this chronic pain syndrome in…

PURPOSE: We assessed the reliability and validity of an efficient severity assessment for pelvic pain and urinary symptoms in urological chronic pelvic pain syndrome, which consists of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome and chronic…

PURPOSE: We sought to determine whether pollen triggers urological chronic pelvic pain syndrome flares. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We assessed flare status every 2 weeks for 1 year as part of the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chron…

BACKGROUND: To investigate whether meteorological factors (temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, ultraviolet index [UVI], and seasons) trigger flares in male and female urologic chronic pelvic pain patients. METHODS: We asses…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the frequency, intensity and duration of urological chronic pelvic pain syndrome symptom exacerbations ('flares'), as well as risk factors for these features, in the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate changes in whole body pain during urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS) flares. MATERIALS AND METHODS: UCPPS participants at one site of the multidisciplinary approach to the study of chronic pelvic pain re…

shift artifacts in the measurements of bladder wall thickness (BWT), CNR and T1 from 20 pixels. RESULTS: Subjects did not complain of any pain or discomfort from 50mL NCM instillation, beyond that caused by the catheterization process. Four…

PURPOSE: We characterized the location and spatial distribution of whole body pain in patients with urological chronic pelvic pain syndrome using a body map. We also compared the severity of urinary symptoms, pelvic pain, nonpelvic pain and…

PURPOSE: We examined baseline clinical and psychosocial characteristics that predict 12-month symptom change in men and women with urological chronic pelvic pain syndromes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 221 female and 176 male patients …
