Brief Summary

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

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of intravesical ozone therapy in 60 patients with interstitial cystitis (IC). Participants were assigned to ozone therapy, placebo, or standard care groups for 3 weeks, with follow-up at 6 weeks. The primary outcome was the change in O'Leary-Sant ICSI score. Secondary outcomes included VAS pain score, SF-36 physical health, and urinary frequency.

Detailed Description

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

Patients received either 50 mL ozonated saline (20-40 µg/mL), normal saline (placebo), or continued standard care twice weekly for 3 weeks. Assessments were conducted at baseline, week 3, and week 6. The study aimed to determine if ozone therapy reduces interstitial cystitis symptoms compared to placebo and standard care.
