NCT ID NCT05544695
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a gel called Cystistat (sodium hyaluronate) placed directly into the bladder to treat women with interstitial cystitis, a condition causing long-term bladder pain. Researchers tracked 74 women to see if the gel improved their symptoms and was safe. The goal was to confirm the gel's benefit-risk balance in real-world use.
