Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Estimate the optimal safe dose of intravesical capsaicin in patients with interstitial cystitis

II Evaluate the efficacy of 0025 topical capsaicin in relieving chronic burning pain in patients with vulvar vestibulitis

III Evaluate the effect of capsaicin on type C nerve fibers in bladder mucosa and vulvar skin

IV Evaluate the effect of C fiber depletion on urinary levels of histamine and prostaglandin
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients with interstitial cystitis are randomly assigned to 1 of 3 pain control therapies

The first group is treated with capsaicin A second group is given individually titrated doses of capsaicin the dose is increased as tolerated or until symptomatic response is acceptable A control group receives a placebo Therapy for all groups is administered intravesically every week for 5 weeks

Patients with vulvar vestibulitis are randomly assigned to 1 of 2 pain control therapies One group applies topical capsaicin cream to the painful area 4 times a day for 6 weeks The dose is individually titrated if burning discomfort persists and the patient is compliant with the application schedule The control group applies a placebo

Patients with vulvar vestibulitis may continue or cross to capsaicin for 6 additional weeks
