Brief Summary

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

To identify new, simple and reliable biomarkers for bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) for diagnosis of this disease.

Detailed Description

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

Collection and analyses of bladder biopsies, bladder washings, blood and urine samples of patients with bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC), overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and bladder-healthy controls. Analyses include ELISA, RT-qPCR, DNA sequencing, and immunohistochemistry techniques. Differences between patient groups are statistically evaluated.
