TLDR
The purpose of this review is to examine the evidence behind the recommendations for dimethyl sulfoxide, heparin, and lidocaine and several historical or experimental therapies that do not hold recommendations but are still used on rare occasion.
Abstract
Bladder instillation therapy refers to the direct introduction of medication into the bladder and is a common treatment modality for patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) who have failed conservative and oral therapies. The current American Urological Association (AUA) recommendations list three medications as options for IC/BPS instillation therapy: dimethyl sulfoxide, heparin, and lidocaine. The purpose of this review is to examine the evidence behind the recommendations for these medications. We also examine several historical or experimental therapies that do not hold recommendations but are still used on rare occasion. Finally, we discuss our bladder instillation strategies as well as potential future research and development in intravesicular therapy.

Novel targeted bladder drug-delivery systems: a review.

TL;DR: This review focuses on novel DDSs to treat bladder conditions such as overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, bladder cancer, and recurrent urinary tract infections, with emphasis on new formulations of well-known drugs (oxybutynin), nanocarriers, polymeric hydrogels, intravesical devices, encapsulated D DSs, and gene therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

First evidence of neosaxitoxin as a long-acting pain blocker in bladder pain syndrome.

TL;DR: Neosaxitoxin infiltration was shown to be a safe and effective intervention to control pain related to BPS and was well tolerated by patients, who experienced extended pain relief and associated beneficial effects over a follow-up of 90 days.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current guidelines in the management of interstitial cystitis

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to outline the recommendations for the treatment of IC and the evidence from which these recommendations arise and to examine the most up to date literature so that future directions in the Treatment of IC may be recognized.
Journal ArticleDOI

An update on treatment options for interstitial cystitis.

TL;DR: Only further investigation on the etiopathogenetic mechanisms, taking into account the differences among subgroups, and the interaction between central and peripherical factors may allow providing a real improvement in the treatment and management of patients with IC/BPS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bladder Pain Syndrome.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the common cause of chronic pelvic pain with associated lower urinary symptoms, and suggest dietary changes (avoiding acidic, spicy, and caffeinated foods) are effective at relieving symptoms.

Incidence and treatment of complications of bacillus Calmette-Guerin intravesical therapy in superficial bladder cancer.

TL;DR: Recognition of risk factors, particularly traumatic catheterization or concurrent cystitis, that result in systemic BCG absorption, as well as the prompt and appropriate treatment of early side effects should significantly decrease the incidence of severe toxicity.

Intravesical capsaicin and resiniferatoxin therapy: spicing up the ways to treat the overactive bladder

TL;DR: Intravesical capsaicin and resiniferatoxin are novel and promising treatments for the overactive bladder, with profound basic and clinical implications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment of interstitial cystitis with intravesical heparin.

TL;DR: In over half of the patients studied, intravesical heparin controls the symptoms of interstitial cystitis with continued improvement even after one year of therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intravesical resiniferatoxin for the treatment of interstitial cystitis: a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial.

TL;DR: In the largest prospective, randomized clinical trial reported to date with intravesical vanilloid therapy, single administration of RTX at doses of 0.01 microM to 0.10 microM was not effective in patients with interstitial cystitis.
