The efficacy of intravesical instillations of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the treatment of suspected early interstitial cystitis was investigated in a prospective study. Among 20 patients treated, complete symptomatic remissions were achieved in 3, partial symptomatic remissions were achieved in 16 and 1 had no symptomatic improvement. Functional bladder capacities after treatment were increased by > 25% in only 4 cases. Among 16 patients who experienced symptomatic remissions and who were followed for .gtoreq. 4 mo., 14 had sustained remissions (mean follow-up 11 mo.) and 2 had unsustained remissions. Clinically apparent toxicity was minimal but transient elevation of the serum lactic dehydrogenase was occasionally observed during treatment. DMSO appears to be useful in the management of carefully selected patients with suspected early interstitial cystitis.
