Overview
Cystitis can be hard to treat and recurrence can be an important concern. The complications of cystitis and some carcinomas associated with it sometimes require an aggressive approach. new modalities help improve the existing treatment options and limit further complications. Pulsed radiofrequency treatment is one such advancement.[1]
Future Therapies
- Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment of the superior hypogastric plexus may replace conventional treatment invasive and on invasive modalities. It is responsible for providing superior hypogastric plexus with nondestructive modulation, so that majority of the pain signals are transferred from the pelvic viscera.[1]
- Various approaches are being tried to prevent the developing resistance to certain medications. These include:[2]
- Avoid prolonged use of broad spectrum antibiotics
- Optimal dosing
- Preventing infection
- Developing new agents
