Radiation cystitis

This study looks at whether a heart procedure called left atrial occlusion can help patients who have both atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and radiation cystitis (bladder inflammation from cancer treatment). These patients often take blood thinners to prevent strokes…

This study tests whether giving patients a special nutritional drink (immunonutrition) before bladder removal surgery can reduce complications like infections. About 232 adults having open cystectomy for various bladder conditions will be randomly assigned to receive the drink or…

This study looks at how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) affects symptoms and urine markers in people with chronic radiation cystitis, a bladder condition caused by past radiation treatment. Researchers will collect urine, blood, and tissue samples from 100 participants before, d…

This study follows 1,000 adults who have long-term bladder or bowel problems from past cancer radiation and are receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Researchers want to learn which patients improve most and when treatment works best. The goal is to better understand how to…

This study looks at whether repeated sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can damage DNA in people who have had radiation for cancer. HBOT is used to help heal tissues damaged by radiation, but it also creates reactive oxygen molecules that might harm DNA. Researchers wil…
