In the May 1997, some of the first research on IC and overlapping conditions was published in a supplement to the journal Urology. Dr. Alagiri et al reported on associations of IC with other chronic disease and pain syndromes. The researchers analyzed results from a study conducted by the ICA to determine if there was a correlation between IC and other diseases. Allergies, irritable bowel syndrome , and sensitive skin were identified as the three most common diseases in the IC population. Additional data follow.
