Mirabegron to manage symptoms of interstitial cystitis / bladder pain syndrome: A stone for two birds? João Antonio Pereira-Correia Luiza Amaral Nahoum João Ernesto Aldred PintoValter José Fernandes Muller<p>Background: Interstitial Cystitis / Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) patients often experience lowered quality of life due to pain, urinary urgency, and increases in urinary frequency. Like many chronic pain disorders, IC/BPS is poorly understood and treatment unsatisfactory.&nbsp;</p><p>Materials and methods: We prospectively monitored the effects on pain and urinary complaints, of mirabegron associated with amitriptyline, for randomly selected women with IC/BPS.&nbsp;</p><p>Results: Twenty-five women were randomly selected to treat pain symptoms of IC/BPS and 12 followed up until the end of the study. All patients showed improvement on all questionnaires referring to pain IC/BPS symptoms and urinary storage symptoms. There was no statistically significant improvement in urinary frequency.&nbsp;</p><p>Conclusions: We suggest that mirabegron can work controlling urinary urgency and pain of IC/BPS patients.</p> Archive of Urological Research - Peertechz Publications 2021-04-26 Research Article https://doi.org/10.17352/aur.000032 en Copyright © João Antonio Pereira-Correia et al.
