Current multidisciplinary approach targeting bladder inflammation and urothelial dysfunction has limited durable effect that major surgery is ultimately required for both Hunner and non-Hunner type IC. Various investigational attempts are underway to avoid such operations and preserve the urinary bladder. Stem cell therapy is a fascinating option for treating chronic illnesses. Stem cells can self-renew, restore damaged tissue, and have paracrine effects. The therapeutic efficacy and safety of stem cell therapy have been demonstrated in numerous preclinical models, primarily chemically induced cystitis rat models. Only one clinical trial (phase 1 study) has investigated the safety of human embryonic stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells in three Hunner-type IC patients. Under general anesthesia, participants underwent cystoscopic submucosal stem cell injection (2.0 × 10⁷ stem cells/5 mL). No safety issues were reported up to 12 months of follow-up and long-term follow-up (up to 3 years). Although there were variations in therapeutic response, all patients reported significant improvement in pain at 1 month postoperatively. One patient underwent fulguration of the Hunner lesion after the trial, but others reported an overall improvement in pain. The analysis on phase 1/2a trial which had several modifications in protocol is currently ongoing. Despite several limitations that need to be overcome, stem cell therapy could be a potential therapeutic option for treating IC/BPS. Clinical outcome on phase 1/2a trial is important and might provide more insight into the clinical application of stem cell therapy for IC/BPS.</p>","PeriodicalId":18028,"journal":{"name":"LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141310992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We observed statistically significant improvement in all FSFI subdomains (<i>p</i> &lt; .05). Statistically significant improvements with treatment on ICSI, ICPI, and VAS scores were achieved (<i>p</i> &lt; .05). Preoperative FSFI scores were similar in Group 1 and Group 2 (<i>p</i> = .147). While the preoperative FSFI scores were 17.00 ± 3.73 and 14.84 ± 3.72 for Group 1 and Group 2, respectively, the scores after the treatment were 22.85 ± 5.01 and 21.98 ± 5.01 on the 30th day, and 24.62 ± 6.06 and 24.19 ± 6.05 on the 90th day postoperatively. Significant improvement was observed in FSFI scores with treatment, and no difference was observed between the two groups in terms of treatment response (<i>p</i> = .706).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Intravesical BoNT-A injection in the treatment of women with refractory IC/BPS improves sexual functions. It also significantly improves pain and symptom scores. Both trigone-sparing and trigone-including injections are similarly safe and effective.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18028,"journal":{"name":"LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140288470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
