fMRI for BPS: A Descriptive Study of Findings and Symptoms

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings and Symptoms in Bladder Pain Syndrome: A Descriptive Study

Sponsor

RenJi Hospital

Enrollment

120 participants

Start Date

Mar 1, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Bladder Pain Syndrome

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) findings of the brain and symptom presentation in patients with bladder pain syndrome (BPS). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To explore the distribution characteristics of fMRI imaging and possible target lesions in the patient population. 2. To provide appropriate clues and evidence for etiological exploration and therapeutic targeting of BPS. Participants will undergo fMRI as well as other routine laboratory tests and queries.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTfMRI

The fMRI is acquired using a Siemens 3.0T MRI scanner. BOLD functional images are scanned using an echo planar imaging (EPI) sequence. The scanning parameters are: TR=2s, matrix size of 64\*64, number of layers=30, layer thickness=3.75\*3.75\*4.5mm, and bottom-up interval scanning. A total of 540 whole brain functional images are acquired.
