Abstract

Limited research suggests commonalities between urologic chronic pelvic pain syndromes (UCPPS) and other non-urologic chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs) including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and irritable bowel syndrome. The goal of this case-control study was to examine similarities and differences between UCPPS and these other COPCs.
