Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the efficacy of microwave thermotherapy combined with tri-drug bladder perfusion for treatment of bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC).

Methods

During Feb 2014 to Sep 2017, 51 BPS/IC patients were treated, including 44 women and 7 men, with mean age of 36 years, mean course of 32 months. The control group was treated with triplex drug bladder perfusion, and the study group was treated with microwave thermotherapy on the basis of bladder perfusion. O'Leary-Sant questionnaire interstitial bladder inflammation shape index and problem index score (ICSI+ICPI), pelvic pain and urinary frequency score (PUF), and visual analogue scale (VAS) were observed and recorded for IC/BPS symptom assessment before and after treatments.

Results

After the treatments, the rate of curative effect was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). ICSI, ICPI, PUF and VAS scores of study groups were improved than those of control group [(7.3±3.3) vs (10.7±2.5), (5.2±3.5) vs (7.5±3.5), (19.6±3.4) vs (22.3±4.7), (5.0±0.7)vs (5.8±1.1), all P<0.05)]. And all scores of the two groups after treatmant were improved than those before treatment. The effective rate of the treatment group was 91%, and no serious adverse reactions occurred in all patients.

Conclusions

Treating BPS/IC patients with microwave thermotherapy combined with intravesical drug therapy can effectively relieve clinical symptom.
