Transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor subtype 1 in painful bladder syndrome and its correlation with pain. Mukerji G, Yiangou Y, AgarwalSK, Anand P. J Urol 2006;176:797-801
• study from the United Kingdom showing increased transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor subtype 1 in nerve fibers of the bladder in painful bladder syndrome and a correlation of the pain score with the relative density of transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor subtype 1 nerve fibers
• the authors conclude that transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor subtype 1 may have a role in the pathophysiology of painful bladder syndrome and it is a potential target for novel therapeutic agents
