Exploring how people with IC/BPS choose the treatments that work best for them—through research insights and real patient perspectives.
Description: With the numerous treatment options for IC/BPS, it can be challenging for both the individual and the healthcare provider to know which therapy patients favor and what guides their decision-making. Dr. Raveen Syan shares research she has conducted to better understand how patients with IC/BPS select the therapy they prefer, followed by a discussion with people with IC/BPS about their perceptions of specific treatment options.
