About this study

Official title: Pilot Study for Comparison of the Efficacy Between Transurethral Coagulation and Transurethral Resection of Ulcer in Bladder Pain Syndrome Patients

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.

Being tested
Transurethral Coagulation (TUC), Transurethral Resection(TUR)
Keywords
Bladder Pain Syndrome, Transurethral Resection of Ulcer, Transurethral Coagulation of Ulcer
Medical subject headings
