New IC Clinical Trial: LiRIS for IC Pain

Announcement: There is a new IC Clinical Trial seeking IC patients to test out LiRIS, a pretzel-shaped silicon tube filled with Lidocaine gel.  Lidocaine is a local anesthetic used to treat other conditions (such as in the mouth during dental procedures) and might be helpful for the pain associated with IC.  The clinical trials are available throughout the US and an initial questionnaire is necessary for pre-screening and enrollment into the trial.  This trial is listed on the US National Institutes of Health: www.ClinicalTrials.gov

For more information and to access the patient survey to see if you qualify for the LiRIS patient trial please go to: www.InterstitialCystitisStudy.com  and updates can also be found on their Facebook page at: www.Facebook.com/ICstudy
