Symptom heterogeneity in interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, collectively termed urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS), has resulted in difficulty in defining appropriate clinical trial endpoints. We determine clinically important differences (CIDs) for 2 primary symptom measures, Pelvic Pain Severity (PPS) and Urinary Symptom Severity (USS), and evaluate subgroup differences.
