For Researchers

Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) research studies are vital for improving treatment and quality of care for people with IC/BPS. The Interstitial Cystitis Association (ICA) offers patient recruitment agencies and researchers assistance with short and long-term studies in the areas of IC/BPS, bladder pain, urgency, frequency, chronic pelvic pain, and overlapping conditions such as vulvodynia, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome.
