Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Control Study for the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network has been established to focus on a broader approach to the study of Interstitial Cystitis (IC)/Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS) in men and women, and Chronic Prostatitis (CP)/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) in men, than previously undertaken.

Participants with no Urologic Pelvic Pain Syndromes as well as participants with specific conditions (Fibromyalgia (FM), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)) are being recruited for the Trans-MAPP Control Study. These participants will act as a reference/control group for the Trans-MAPP Epidemiology \& Phenotyping (EP) Study.

As with many chronic pain disorders, IC and CP are poorly understood, and treatment is often not helpful. The goal of this study is to better understand how pain is felt in people with IC or CP. The MAPP Control Study is an observational study that will enroll participants from 6 Discovery Sites and 3 Satellite Sites across the U.S. The investigators will ask questions and gather information about the health and life of the participants for research purposes. The investigators hope that this study will lead to improvement in the treatment of IC and CP.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Trans-MAPP Control participants will only need to complete one study visit to collect baseline data and biospecimens. Potential participants will be scheduled for an eligibility screening session. Following screening, potentially eligible participants will complete a baseline phenotyping session, and biospecimen collections, which together are expected to take approximately 2.5 hours to complete. Participants will be provided with breaks as needed during the clinic visit.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Healthy Control

Healthy Control participants do not suffer from any Urological Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes or from the following conditions:

Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

No interventions assigned to this group

Positive Control

Positive Control participants do not suffer from any Urological Pelvic Pain Syndromes like Interstitial Cystitis and/or Chronic Prostatitis. However Positive Controls have a history of one of the following conditions:

Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Participants are eligible for the Trans-MAPP Control Protocol if they meet the following general and gender-specific criteria listed below:

1. Participant has signed and dated the appropriate Informed Consent document.
2. Agreed to participate in Trans-MAPP Control Study procedures;


1. Participant reports a response of "0" (zero) on the pain, pressure or discomfort scale.
2. Participant reports no chronic pain in the pelvic or bladder region, and reports chronic pain in no more than one other body region.
3. Participant reports no urological symptoms that have been evaluated, but are still present.


1\. Participant meets the validated criteria for one or more of the following conditions

1. Fibromyalgia (FM)
2. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
3. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)

Exclusion Criteria

Individuals will not be eligible for enrollment in the Trans-MAPP Control Study if they meet any of the criteria:

1. Participant has an on-going symptomatic urethral stricture.
2. Participant has an on-going neurological disease or disorder affecting the bladder or bowel fistula.
3. Participant has a history of cystitis caused by tuberculosis or radiation therapy or Cytoxan/cyclophosphamide therapy.
4. Participant has augmentation cystoplasty or cystectomy.
5. Participant has a systemic autoimmune disorder (such as Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, or Multiple Sclerosis).
6. Participant has a history of cancer (with the exception of skin cancer).
7. Participant has current major psychiatric disorder or other psychiatric or medical issues that would interfere with study participation (e.g. dementia, psychosis, upcoming major surgery, etc).
8. Participant has severe cardiac, pulmonary, renal, or hepatic disease that in the judgment of the study physician would preclude participation in this study.
