Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is equally common in both men and women, causes worsening quality of life, social isolation and disability. The treatment of CPPS requires long-term pharmacotherapy associated with the development of class-specific side effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Genetic study of the carriage of polymorphic alleles of the CYP2C9 gene involved in the metabolism of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) prescribed to patients with CPPS is an urgent and in-demand task of modern healthcare. This study allows us not only to determine the genotypes of patients with CPPS but also to identify ways of personalized approach to therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
