ESSIC  
 
The ESSIC obtained consensus on a new classification of IC and proposes to replace the name interstitial cystitis (IC) by bladder pain syndrome (BPS) followed by a type indication. In a transition period the name bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) could be used parallel with BPS. Click here for more details.
