MAPP Research Network

What is MAPP?

The Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Multi-institutional, collaborative network NIH Funding Dedicated to the study of … IC/BPS and CP/CPPS ... Urologic Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (UCPPS)

MAPP Research Network

  • Lack of clinical advancement in the field of UCPPS
  • Little Interdisciplinary work
  • New literature (and clinical experience) suggesting

that UCPPS likely represents a heterogeneous group

  • f patients, many of whom suffer from pain that

reaches far beyond the urogenital system.

Why Do We Need MAPP?

Better Phenotyping = Better Outcomes

MAPP Research Network

  • To better understand the treated natural history of

UCPPS.

  • To identify clinical factors and research measurements

that will define clinically relevant sub-groups of these patients for future clinical trials.

  • Address underlying disease pathophysiology and

natural history using patient cohorts, biospecimens and animal models

Broad Goals of the MAPP Network

MAPP Epidemiology - Phenotyping Study

Study Subjects

w Demographic and clinical characteristics are similar to other cohorts in the literature

  • Men => mean age 46.8yrs, mean symptom duration 7.8 yrs, mean CPSI score

22.5

  • Women => mean age 40.5yrs, mean symptom duration 9.1 yrs, mean ICSI

score 10.8

w Biweekly Internet-based assessments for 12 months

  • 83% missed no more than 3 of the planned 26 contacts!

w Pelvic Pain Only

  • Areas 14, 15 or 16
  • 26%

w Pelvic Pain and Beyond

  • 74%
  • “Centralized” phenotype
  • More severe UCPPS symptoms

UCPPS and Other Pain Syndromes

w Psychosocial symptoms were similar in UCPPS subjects and “positive” controls with fibromyalgia, IBS, chronic fatigue syndrome w Chronic overlapping pain conditions (fibromyalgia, IBS, chronic fatigue syndrome) in UCPPS patients

  • 43% females, 30% males
  • More severe UCPPS symptoms
  • Worse QOL
  • More psychosocial symptoms

MAPP Epidemiology-Phenotyping Study Findings

Bladder-Sensitivity Phenotype

w Urinary urgency due to pain/ pressure/discomfort w Pain that worsens with bladder filling w One or more positive response:

  • 88% of women
  • 75% of men
  • Suggests overlap in symptoms between IC/BPS and CP/CPPS

w Bladder hypersensitivity associated with:

  • More severe UCPPS symptoms
  • More non-urologic pain
  • Worse QOL

Symptom Assessment

w Baseline questionnaire responses - two factors provided the best psychometric description of items:

  • Pain symptoms
  • Urinary symptoms

w Equivalent results in men and women w Longitudinal analysis – pain and urinary symptoms track differently w These findings suggest that pain and urinary symptoms should be examined separately, rather than using a ‘composite’ symptom score.

Change in Symptoms Over 12 Months

Significant predictors of better outcomes included: Ø Higher baseline symptom severity Ø Less widespread pain and non-urologic symptoms Ø CMSI and body map Ø Better overall physical health

  • SF-12 physical, PROMIS sleep, PROMIS fatigue

Ø Better overall mental health

  • SF-12 mental, pain catastrophizing, perceived stress

MAPP Epidemiology-Phenotyping Study Findings

Symptom Flares

w Females reported 507 symptom flares, Males reported 297 flares w 95% reported at least one flare

  • 1-4 flares => 26%
  • 5-9 flares => 28%
  • 10+ flares => 41%

w More common with ‘centralized’ phenotype and with more severe bladder symptoms (‘bladder’ phenotype) w Focus groups

  • Flares vary in symptom type, severity and duration (minutes to days)
  • Unpredictable
  • Lead to social avoidance and isolation

Regression to the Mean

w Early symptom changes (regression to the mean) were common and impacted the assessment of symptom trajectory over time.

Improved No Change Worse Week 0-48 Data 25.2-37.7% 56.8-68.9% 5.4-5.9% Week 4-48 Data 15.0-24.8% 65.8-78.5% 6.1-9.4%

MAPP Epidemiology-Phenotyping Study Findings

Summary

w Clinical phenotyping of UCPPS patients should focus on at least 3 important factors:

  • Pain localization (presence of pain outside of the pelvis)
  • Presence of chronic overlapping pain conditions
  • Bladder hypersensitivity

w We should consider abandoning ‘total symptom scores’ and instead utilize dual outcomes (pain symptoms, urinary symptoms)

Pain Sensitivity

Ø Positive Controls > Healthy Controls Ø UCPPS > Healthy Controls Ø Positive Controls = UCPPS

Increased pain sensitivity was associated with:

Ø Increased UCPPS symptom severity Ø More Flares Ø Less likelihood of symptom improvement
