Although uncomplicated cystitis is often self-limiting, most such patients will be prescribed antibiotic treatment. We are investigating whether treatment of cystitis with an NSAID is as effective as an antibiotic in achieving symptomatic resolution.
METHODS/DESIGN: This is a randomized, controlled, double blind trial following the principles of Good Clinical Practice. Women between the ages of 18 to 60 presenting with symptoms of uncomplicated cystitis are screened for eligibility. 500 women from four sites in Norway, Sweden and Denmark are allocated to treatment with 600 mg ibuprofen three times a day or 200 mg mecillinam three times a day for three days. Allocation is conducted using block randomization. The primary outcome is the number of patients who feel cured by day four as recorded in a diary. Adverse events will be handled and reported in accordance with Good Clinical Practice.
If treatment of uncomplicated cystitis with ibuprofen is as effective as mecillinam for symptom relief, we can potentially reduce the use of antibiotics on a global scale.

尽管单纯性膀胱炎通常具有自限性,但大多数此类患者仍会接受抗生素治疗。我们正在研究使用非甾体抗炎药治疗膀胱炎在实现症状缓解方面是否与抗生素同样有效。
方法/设计:这是一项遵循良好临床实践原则的随机、对照、双盲试验。对年龄在18至60岁之间出现单纯性膀胱炎症状的女性进行资格筛查。来自挪威、瑞典和丹麦四个地点的500名女性被分配接受每日三次、每次600毫克布洛芬或每日三次、每次200毫克美西林的治疗,为期三天。采用区组随机化进行分配。主要结局是日记中记录的到第四天感觉治愈的患者数量。不良事件将按照良好临床实践进行处理和报告。
如果用布洛芬治疗单纯性膀胱炎在缓解症状方面与美西林同样有效,我们有可能在全球范围内减少抗生素的使用。
