Sponsor's own description

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.
