Abstract
After unsuccessful outpatient conservative treatment or invasive inpatient treatment and after cystectomy in interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), an inpatient discipline-specific urological rehabilitation (rehab) should be proposed according to the German guideline on IC/BPS. During rehab, diagnostic results will be completed. Multimodal therapy includes the optimisation of lifestyle and medication. Intensive psychotherapy may frequently improve the processing of the disease. Various forms of exercise therapy and physical therapy with water applications, thermotherapy, several forms of massage and electrical or magnetic therapies as well as nutritional advice frequently alleviate complaints in IC/BPS. The different therapies are modified during rehab, if necessary. Social medicine evaluation and advice, e.g. on grade of handicap or ability to work, are also important issues in rehab. Two-thirds of patients show an essential improvement after rehab, which lasts for a prolonged period in about 50% of patients.
