About this study

Official title: Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain: Trans-MAPP Control Study

The Control Study for the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network has been established to focus on a broader approach to the study of Interstitial Cystitis (IC)/Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS) in men and women, and Chronic Prostatitis (CP)/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) in men, than previously undertaken.

Participants with no Urologic Pelvic Pain Syndromes as well as participants with specific conditions (Fibromyalgia (FM), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)) are being recruited for the Trans-MAPP Control Study. These participants will act as a reference/control group for the Trans-MAPP Epidemiology \& Phenotyping (EP) Study.

As with many chronic pain disorders, IC and CP are poorly understood, and treatment is often not helpful. The goal of this study is to better understand how pain is felt in people with IC or CP. The MAPP Control Study is an observational study that will enroll participants from 6 Discovery Sites and 3 Satellite Sites across the U.S. The investigators will ask questions and gather information about the health and life of the participants for research purposes. The investigators hope that this study will lead to improvement in the treatment of IC and CP.

Read the detailed description

Trans-MAPP Control participants will only need to complete one study visit to collect baseline data and biospecimens. Potential participants will be scheduled for an eligibility screening session. Following screening, potentially eligible participants will complete a baseline phenotyping session, and biospecimen collections, which together are expected to take approximately 2.5 hours to complete. Participants will be provided with breaks as needed during the clinic visit.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT01098292
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Healthy ControlHealthy Control participants do not suffer from any Urological Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes or from the following conditions: Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Positive ControlPositive Control participants do not suffer from any Urological Pelvic Pain Syndromes like Interstitial Cystitis and/or Chronic Prostatitis. However Positive Controls have a history of one of the following conditions: Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Baseline outcome measures

    Extensive data on risk factors and outcomes measures will be collected for the Trans-MAPP Control Study. These measures can be classified into a number of primary domains as described below.

    1. General Measures of Sociodemographics, Health, and Quality of Life
    2. UCPPS Symptoms Measures
    3. Non-urological Symptom Measures
    4. Trait-like Personal Factors
    5. Biological Specimens

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fibromyalgia and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, run by University of Pennsylvania at 8 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Baseline outcome measures (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2014.
