Aim: Explore the effects of
guided imagery on pelvic pain and urinary symptoms in women with IC.

study would be warranted.
“Guided imagery uses words to direct one’s thoughts and
attention to imagined visual, auditory, tactile, or olfactory sensations to
elicit the psychologic and physiologic response of relaxation. “
Several theories for how the physiological effect is achieved
with guided imagery including Gate Control Theory of pain and endorphin release.
