Conditions studied: Bladder Pain Syndrome, Interstitial Cystitis
In brief
This is a pilot randomized control trial of 30 women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome to determine the feasibility of delivering a hypnosis intervention or usual care on bladder pain (primary outcome) and cerebral blood flow (secondary outcome).

Neuroimagning (fMRI) will occur after the first follow up visit.
