The pathogenesis of bladder pain is poorly understood. Our hypothesis is that in women with urinary urgency without incontinence, bladder pain is associated with the presence of neurogenic inflammation in the bladder wall and neuroinflammatory biomarkers in the urine. We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study of women with urinary urgency without incontinence. Urinary symptoms were measured using Female Genitourinary Pain Index. Neuropathic pain, a clinical biomarker of neuroinflammation, was measured using the PainDETECT questionnaire. Inflammatory neuropeptides measured in the urine included nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and osteopontin (Opn). Neuropathic pain scores and urinary neuropeptide levels were compared between patients with and without bladder pain using univariable and multivariable analysis. In 101 women with urinary urgency without incontinence, 62 (61%) were in the bladder pain group (VAS ≤ 3) while 39 (39%) were in the no bladder pain group. Urinary symptom scores (5.0 +/−3.1 versus 3.5 +/−2.4, p < .001) and neuropathic pain scores (13.3 ± 8.6 versus 5.1 ± 4.8, p <.001) were significantly higher for the bladder pain group than for the no bladder pain group. On multivariable analysis after controlling for age, BMI, and severity of urinary urgency, bladder pain score was significantly associated with elevated urinary levels of VEGF (p=0.04) and Opn (p=0.02) while neuropathic pain score was significantly associated with an increased NGF level (p=0.03). In women with urinary urgency without incontinence, bladder pain is associated with the presence of clinical and urinary biomarkers of neuroinflammation.
