NCT ID NCT07658118

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tests whether injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the bladder wall is safe and can reduce pain and frequent urination in people with interstitial cystitis (bladder pain syndrome). Fifteen adults who haven't improved after standard treatments will receive the injection under anesthesia and be followed for six months. The goal is to see if this approach offers longer-lasting relief than current therapies.
