Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of administering auricular acupressure for patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), and evaluating the efficacy of auricular acupressure to reduce pain scores and decrease pain medication usage over time.
Detailed Description:
Eligible participants will be asked to complete baseline questionnaires. After completion, a study interventionist will place 10 adhesive acupressure pads/seeds on the participant's ears (5 on each ear). Each seed will be placed on a specific site on the ear believed to help with pain and overall well-being. Over the course of 5 days, participants will be asked to apply a small amount of manual pressure with their fingers to each of the ear pads and answer daily study questionnaires.
This feasibility trial is being conducted in collaboration with the Battlefield Auricular Acupressure (BAApress) Training and Intervention Fidelity study (IRB00084011).
