“…Information regarding IC/BPS patients' experience with CAM and behavioral therapies has thus far been limited to surveys [9] and observational studies [18]. Our study provides initial evidence that participation in an 8-week MBSR class results in improvement in IC/BPS compared to women using first or second line therapies from IC/BPS.…”

“…In a cross-sectional survey [9], the majority of patients with IC/BPS rated both stress reduction and meditation as "helpful" treatment modalities. Our data provide strong initial evidence that MBSR may be a viable treatment for IC/BPS along with traditional 1 st and 2 nd -line therapies.…”

“…The Interstitial Cystitis Association, a patient-led organization, sponsored a survey of 2100 IC/BPS patients. They reported that 84% had tried CAM therapy and 55% reported CAM therapy had been recommended by their physician [9]. According to a 2007 National Health Interview survey [10], CAM is used by 38% of adults in the United States.…”

“…These disorders may coexist in patients with IC/BPS [6]. In IC/BPS, increased stress is positively correlated with increased pain [14] and up to 80% of IC/BPS patients noted in a survey that stress reduction decreased their symptoms [9]. MBSR has been reported to be efficacious in the treatment of urgency urinary incontinence, a urinary disorder closely related to IC/BPS [15].…”

“…MBSR has been reported to be efficacious in the treatment of urgency urinary incontinence, a urinary disorder closely related to IC/BPS [15]. Although MBSR has shown therapeutic benefit in pain disorders similar to IC/BPS and has been reported to be helpful by IC/BPS sufferers, data from randomized clinical trials investigating the efficacy of MBSR for IC are lacking [9]. The objective of this research was to provide initial data to evaluate MBSR as a treatment for patients with IC/BPS.…”

Purpose-Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is a standardized meditation program that may be an effective therapy for Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS), a condition exacerbated by stress. The aims of this study were to explore 1) whether MBSR improved IC/BPS symptoms 2) MBSR's feasibility/acceptability among women with IC/BPS. Results-Eleven women randomized to UC and 9 to MBSR, without differences in group characteristics. More MBSR participants' symptoms were improved on the GRA [7/8(87.5%) vs. Materials and Methods-This

Aims Psychosocial factors amplify symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis (IC/BPS). While psychosocial self-management is efficacious in other pain conditions, its impact on an IC/BPS population has rarely been studied. The objective of this review is to learn the prevalence and impact of psychosocial factors on IC/BPS, assess baseline psychosocial characteristics, and offer recommendations for assessment and treatment. Method Following PRISMA guidelines, primary information sources were PubMed including MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and GoogleScholar. Inclusion criteria included: (i) a clearly defined cohort with IC/BPS or with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome provided the IC/BPS cohort was delineated with quantitative results from the main cohort; (ii) all genders and regions; (iii) studies written in English from 1995 to April 14, 2017; (iv) quantitative report of psychosocial factors as outcome measures or at minimum as baseline characteristics. Results Thirty-four of an initial 642 articles were reviewed. Quantitative analyses demonstrate the magnitude of psychosocial difficulties in IC/BPS, which are worse than average on all measures, and fall into areas of clinical concern for 7 out of 10 measures. Meta-analyses shows mean Mental Component Score of the Short-Form 12 Health Survey (MCS) of 40.80 (SD 6.25, N = 2912), where <36 is consistent with severe psychological impairment. Averaged across studies, the population scored in the range seen in clinical depression (CES-D 19.89, SD 13.12, N = 564) and generalized anxiety disorder (HADS-A 8.15, SD 4.85, N = 465). Conclusion The psychological impact of IC/BPS is pervasive and severe. Existing evidence of treatment is lacking and suggests self-management intervention may be helpful.

Interstitial cystitis patients’ use and rating of complementary and alternative medicine therapies

Abstract: Randomized, placebo-controlled studies are needed to demonstrate which therapies may indeed control IC symptoms and help send research in new and productive directions.
