Small Fiber Polyneuropathy Is Associated With Non–Bladder-Centric Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome Patients

Conclusions In this pilot study, SFPN was significantly more common in non–bladder-centric IC/BPS, that is, those patients who also reported greater prevalence of NUS, including fibromyalgia, migraines, anxiety/panic disorders, allergies, and asthma. These findings suggest that SFPN may have an etiologic role in a larger, systemic pain syndrome and should be explored further.
