Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of dexmedetomidine while patients undergo treatment for Interstitial Cystitis (IC). The investigators goal is to demonstrate in patients with IC undergoing bladder hydrodistension that the use of dexmedetomidine as a supplemental anesthetic agent will result in better postoperative pain management.

Detailed Description

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

Inclusion Criteria: Patients with a clinical diagnosis of IC scheduled for cystoscopy and hydrodistension for both diagnostic and therapeutic indications.

Data collected will include:

I. Postoperative Outcomes i. Pain Reported (Visual Analogue Scale) ii. Post-operative opiate use iii. Time in PACU iv. Time until discharge v. Adverse Events (i.e. nausea/vomiting, nursing intervention) II. Intermediate-term Outcomes (4-6 weeks) i. Interstitial Cystitis Symptom \& Problem Index ii. Revised McGill Pain Score

Study Groups

Dexmedetomidine

Dexmedetomidine is a FDA-approved medication that is a highly selective, short acting, alpha-2 adrenoreceptor agonist. To date, its safety and efficacy is well studied and established.It produces sedative, anxiolytic, and analgesic effects when used while patients undergo procedures and surgical operations.Interstitial Cystitis, as a chronic visceral pain syndrome, has the potential to have a neuropathic component for which an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist may be more effective than other classes, including opioids or NSAIDs.
