Bladder sensation evaluation of a carrageenan-induced chronic prostatitis model using a direct measurement of the bladder mechanosensitive single-unit afferent nerve activity.

Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) causes long-standing pain and/or storage symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the likelihood of deterioration of bladder sensation in a carrageenan-induced CP/CPPS model by direct measurement of the bladder mechanosensitive single-unit afferent nerve activity.
