NCT ID NCT05699551

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study planned to see if a 6-week supervised exercise program could reduce symptoms of interstitial cystitis (painful bladder syndrome) and improve quality of life in adult women. Participants would have walked and done light strength training three times a week. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants enrolled, so no data was collected.
