A PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS: RESULTS OF LONGITUDINAL FOLLOWUP OF THE INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS DATA BASE COHORT

Abstract

Our observations support the clinical observation that interstitial cystitis is a chronic disease and no current treatments have a significant impact on symptoms with time. These results provide a foundation for the design and performance of future clinical trials in interstitial cystitis using these end points in a similar patient population.
