Neurourology and urodynamics
-
To investigate changes in whole body pain during urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS) flares. ⋯ Our observations of extrapelvic pain increases during flares for patients with COPCs and our independent associations between pelvic/genital/urination-related pain intensity and flare onset may provide insight into mechanisms underlying flare development (eg, common biologic pathways between UCPPS phenotypes and flares), flare management (eg, local vs systemic therapies by COPC status), and patient flare definitions.
