Summary
A total of 40 volunteers women with a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis. Their ages ranged
from 25 to 40 years old; their body mass index was > 30 kg/m2 and were randomly assigned to a
group (A) received interferential current at the lower abdomen, and also received traditional
medicine or group (B) received traditional medicine for 8 successive weeks. Both of the
groups received the treatment program for 8 successive weeks. Assessment of pain perception
and disability level for all patients in both groups (A&B) were done through Visual analogue
scale, O'Leary-Sant Symptom Index or Interstitial Cystitis Index (ICSI) and blood cortisol
concentration were done before and after the treatment program.
