Summary

The Control Study for the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network has been established to focus on a broader approach to the study of Interstitial Cystitis (IC)/Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS) in men and women, and Chronic Prostatitis (CP)/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) in men, than previously undertaken.

Participants with no Urologic Pelvic Pain Syndromes as well as participants with specific conditions (Fibromyalgia (FM), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)) are being recruited for the Trans-MAPP Control Study. These participants will act as a reference/control group for the Trans-MAPP Epidemiology \& Phenotyping (EP) Study.

As with many chronic pain disorders, IC and CP are poorly understood, and treatment is often not helpful. The goal of this study is to better understand how pain is felt in people with IC or CP. The MAPP Control Study is an observational study that will enroll participants from 6 Discovery Sites and 3 Satellite Sites across the U.S. The investigators will ask questions and gather information about the health and life of the participants for research purposes. The investigators hope that this study will lead to improvement in the treatment of IC and CP.
