Trans-MAPP II Study of Urologic Chronic Pelvin Pain
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network has been established by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to focus on a broader approach to the study of Interstitial Cystitis (IC)/ Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS) in men and women, and Chronic Prostatitis (CP)/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) in men, than previously undertaken. Patients with IC or CP are being recruited for a new study called the "Trans-MAPP Study of Urologic Chronic Pelvic Pain: Symptom Patterns Study (SPS). This research study will recruit Control Participants to better understand the symptoms of individuals with some form of IC or CP. 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 and the investigators hope that this study will lead to improvement in the treatment of IC and CP.

This study is the second phase of the MAPP Network and is designed to conduct a prospective, observational study of men and women with UCPPS, referred to as the Symptom Patterns Study (SPS), enriched with pre-defined subgroups, with longer follow-up, in order to further investigate clinical and biologic factors associated with worsening and/or improvement of reported urinary and non-urinary symptoms.
