Autonomic Response During Cystodistension in Patients Suspected of Having Interstitial Cystitis

Autonomic Response During Cystodistension in Patients Suspected of Having Interstitial Cystitis

The aim of this study is to check whether patients with cystoscopic findings supporting the diagnosis of Interstitial Cystitis (IC) have a higher autonomic response (change in blood pressure / pulse)than patients without cystoscopic findings.

checking the changes in blood pressure and pulse rate during the initiation of the anesthesia and at the completion of the cystodistension in patient with cystoscopic finding supporting IC

• symptoms lasting for at least six months
• symptoms suspect of the syndrome: super pubic pain, urinary urgency and frequency
• lack of urinary infection or any other pathology of the urinary tract
