Summary

Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a poorly understood disease with unreliable treatments. Although it is not known what causes it for certain, we do know that life stressors may make the disease worse or cause flares. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an 8 week class focused on meditation and other techniques that the investigators think may be helpful to people with IC/BPS. This trial will assign participants to an MBSR class or usual care for their IC/BPS to see if the MBSR class would be helpful for their disease.
