From the USA: Micronized Amnion/Chorion Aids Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome
Injected micronized amnion/chorion bilayer (AC) product significantly reduces time to symptom relief in patients with refractory interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), according to a study published online Oct. 23 in International Urology & Nephrology.
Kyle O’Hollaren, from Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, and colleagues evaluated the therapeutic responses and adverse events of micronized AC in patients with refractory IC/BPS. The analysis included 15 patients who failed conventional therapy and received 100 mg of reconstituted micronized AC injected intra-detrusor via cystoscopy under general anesthesia using a 23-gauge needle. Twenty 0.5-mL injections were administered into the lateral and posterior bladder walls with outcomes evaluated at six months.
