PURPOSE: We used prospective data from a well-characterized urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS) cohort (including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome) to identify transi…

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…

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…

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 …

PURPOSE: We examined health care seeking activities during a 12-month period in a cohort of men and women with urological chronic pelvic pain syndromes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 191 men and 233 women with urological chronic pelvic …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: To examine a series of candidate markers for urological chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS), selected based on their proposed involvement in underlying biological processes so as to provide new insights into pathophysiology and …
