Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) encompasses a heterogeneous group of debilitating conditions including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), chronic abacterial prostatitis, endometriosis, and pelvic congestion syndrome, among others. Despite advances …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a prevalent, disabling syndrome encompassing overlapping disorders such as endometriosis/adenomyosis, bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, vulvodynia, and myofascial pain syndrome. Despite distinct clinical …
Endometriosis and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) frequently coexist in women with chronic pelvic pain, yet overlapping symptoms and non-standardized diagnostic pathways often delay recognition of dual pathology. We propose …
Endometriosis and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) frequently coexist; however, diagnostic delays and non-standardized criteria limit accurate identification of these conditions.
Chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs) refer to a set of chronic pain disorders that frequently co-occur and may involve partially overlapping mechanisms. The U.S. National Institutes of Health currently recognizes …
Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) is a common source of chronic pelvic pain. The aim of this study was to determine the gynecologic comorbidities associated with bladder pain in the …
We explore bladder sensitivity profiles in females with chronic pelvic pain, using a non-invasive bladder sensitivity paradigm. We aim to determine how profiles differ between groups defined by symptoms; groups …
Deep endometriosis (DE) is established to cause chronic pelvic pain (CPP), lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and altered bowel function. Although the aim of surgical excision is often to relieve …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common and burdensome symptom in women yet current clinical management frequently leaves many with persistent pain. The Translational Research in Pelvic Pain (TRiPP) project …
