What this Trial Is About
Urethral pain syndrome (UPS) is defined by the occurrence of persistent or recurrent episodic urethral pain in the absence of proven infection or other obvious pathology. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of an intraurethral and vaginal laser therapy for the treatment of UPS. The hypothesis is that a significant reduction of urethral pressure pain can be achieved.
