Description de l'évènement : |
||
| Interstitial Cystitis is a condition where people (mostly women) suffer the pain and agony of urinary tract infections without an infectious cause. Researchers now know that Interstitial Cystitis, also known as Bladder Pain Syndrome [IC/BPS], affects about 3% to 4% of Canadian women. There are new Canadian guidelines of which Dr. Curtis Nickel was one of the authors. Dr. Nickel is a lead researcher on IC/BPS, who entered the field because he says that nobody in Canada was doing any research on the condition. He believes that IC/BPS patients are often relegated to the periphery of clinical practice. Dr. Nickel will present a webinar looking at current treatment research options and the most recent research about IC/BPS. As with other CIRPD webinars, a quarter of the presentation time will allow for questions and answers from participants. You will learn: - IC/BPS is more complicated than a simple bladder pain condition - To understand IC/BPS clinical picture, you must look outside the bladder - IC/BPS patients are like snowflakes, superficially they present similarly, but in reality, each patient has a distinct personal clinical phenotype - Management works best when a therapy is based on individualized phenotype specific therapy algorithm | ||
