Venlafaxine Combined With Education and Behavioral Intervention for Bladder Pain Syndrome

Официальное название

A Multicenter, Open-label, Observer-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Venlafaxine Plus Education and Behavioral Modification Program Versus Education and Behavioral Modification Program Alone in Adults With Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome

Обзор

This study aims to compare two treatment plans for adults with bladder pain syndrome (also called interstitial cystitis), a disease that causes long-lasting bladder pain, frequent urination and urgent need to pee. All participants will receive standardized patient education and behavioral training to relieve urinary discomfort. Half of the participants will only get this behavioral intervention, while the other half will take oral venlafaxine in addition to the same behavioral training for 12 weeks. We will check patients' pain levels, urination frequency, sleep quality, mood and daily life ability at 1, 2, 6 and 12 weeks of treatment. The main goal is to see whether adding venlafaxine can better ease bladder pain and urinary symptoms without obvious side effects. This research will provide safer and more effective treatment suggestions for patients with bladder pain syndrome.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Venlafaxine oral tablet combined with Education and Behavioral Modification Program (EBMP)
  Oral venlafaxine with flexible dose titration for 12 weeks plus standardized EBMP. Initial dose 75mg once daily in week 1, escalate to 150mg daily at week 3, maximum up to 225mg daily based on tolerance and symptom improvement. All participants receive identical disease education, bladder training, dietary guidance and psychological stress management training weekly. No other antidepressants, NSAIDs or rescue analgesics are allowed during the trial.
• Поведенческое Education and Behavioral Modification Program (EBMP) only
  12-week standardized behavioral intervention without additional oral drugs, including IC/BPS disease education, bladder irritant dietary restriction, timed bladder training, pelvic floor relaxation training and sleep/stress adjustment guidance. Weekly telephone follow-up to monitor adherence; no antidepressants or analgesics permitted throughout the study period.
