Ácido hialurónico intravesical para el tratamiento del síndrome de vejiga dolorosa / cistitis intersticial. [Intravesical hyaluronic acid for painful bladder syndrome / interstitial cystitis] Buenos Aires: Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (IECS). Informe de Respuesta Rápida N° 258. 2012 Authors' objectives To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and issues related with use coverage policies of intravesical hyaluronic acid for patients with painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis. Authors' conclusions No good quality evidence was found on intravesical hyaluronic acid use for PDS/IC, although some studies of limited methodological quality suggest that it might have some effect by decreasing both pain and urinary symptoms in these patients. No clinical practice guidelines were found nor coverage policies approving its use. More long-term controlled randomized trials are needed to determine the true efficacy of intravesical instillations with hyaluronic acid as a therapeutic alternative for this pathology.
