BPS/IC may best be understood as a biopsychosocial disorder in which biological, psychological and social factors interact to produce symptoms.
“BPS/IC may best be understood as a biopsychosocial disorder, whereby biological (physiological), psychological and social factors interact to produce the symptoms experienced in BPS/IC [7, 8, 9].”
From Cognition, Emotion, and the Bladder: Psychosocial Factors in Bladder Pain Syndrome and Interstitial Cystitis (BPS/IC) (2020) · cites this paper as [9]
The Management options section (page unavailable) says IC/BPS management follows a biopsychosocial model. The Pathophysiology section discusses biological mechanisms and possible effects of stress, but the paper does not say that biological, psychological and social factors interact to produce symptoms; it applies the model to management rather than establishing that account of the disorder.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
