Comparison of the Efficacy Between Transurethral Coagulation and Transurethral Resection of Ulcer in Bladder Pain Syndrome Patients

Completed
Conditions
Bladder Pain Syndrome
Interventions
Procedure: Transurethral Coagulation (TUC)
Procedure: Transurethral Resection(TUR)
Registration Number
NCT01963988
Lead Sponsor
Samsung Medical Center
Brief Summary

On the EAU (European Association of Urology) guidelines, the ulcer type bladder pain syndrome (BPS) should be treated with transurethral resection (TUR) or coagulation (TUC) of ulcer.

But, Up to date, there was no study to compare the therapeutic efficacy of TUR with TUC in ulcer type BPS patients.

We assume TUR have a more therapeutic effect than TUC.
