Re: AUA 2009: Pregabalin (Lyrica)
In response to Boulder's question about primary and secondary endpoints, you had to have at least a 6 point decrease in the NIH-CPSI questionnaire. (find it at http://www.ucpps.men/1/ ) This is a complex assessment that is a quality-of-life measure and grades how much pain, how would it be to live w...

I had posted a reply months ago touting my success with amitriptyline. It went away. I decided to try nortriptyline, a cleaner metabolite and it helped better but not until I added pregabalin/Lyrica.

Where did they get these patients...

Another member of this forum had radiation treatment for prostate cancer then developed CPPS. Ask the wome...

Limbic associated pelvic pain hypothesis
Here's an interesting article which theorizes that the limbic (emotional) lobe of the brain is both receiver and transmitter/facilitator of pelvic pain messages, causes hypersensitivity and reinforces the current psychosocial/meditation/relaxation approach here: Med Hypotheses. 2007;69(2):282-6.
