Silodosin Improves Pain and Urinary Frequency in Bladder Pain Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis Patients.
Abstract
Bladder Pain Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis (BPS/IC) is a bladder-related chronic inflammatory disease. Data indicate that stress enhances the excitability of bladder nociceptors through the stimulation of alpha1A-adrenoceptors. Stress is known to play a crucial role in BPS/IC patients. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of daily silodosin in refractory BPS/IC female patients and its correlation with stress coping.
