Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic pain syndrome that causes bladder pain associated with bladder filling and is commonly accompanied by urinary symptoms in the absence of infection and other aetiologyBladder hydrodistention is not only a diagnostic tool, but also a treatment option for patients with IC/BPS. Although it is non-specific, diagnostic information on, for example, Hunner’s lesions or mucosal rainy bleeding can be obtained through cystoscopy with bladder hydrodistentionIn a retrospective study with a limited number of patients, autonomic responses during bladder hydrodistention were greater in patients under general anaesthesia than in those under spinal anaesthesiaIn this study, we aimed to compare changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP) during bladder hydrodistention in patients with IC/BPS under general and spinal anaesthesia. We hypothesized that the change would be less prominent in patients under spinal anaesthesia.
