Title: A Novel Use of Cyclobenzaprine and Hyoscyamine (BLAVACARE TM) Impregnated Vaginal Suppositories for the Symptomatic Treatment of Interstitial Cystitis, Bladder Spasms, and Painful Bladder Syndrome
Abstract: Interstitial Cystitis and Painful Bladder Syndrome are chronic conditions that are associated with urinary frequency, urgency, pain, and nocturia. The etiology of IC/PBS is not clearly understood, therefore diagnosis and treatment can be challenging. IC/PBS greatly affects the quality of life in several ways. In this report, we present the case of a patient with longstanding interstitial cystitis symptoms who was successfully treated with a novel approach after failing treatment established by the current guidelines in the management of IC/PBS. This case illustrates the complex nature of this syndrome and offers a new treatment approach that can potentially change the way IC/PBS are medically managed.
