Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact of a detailed treatment handbook and follow-up schedule on women seeking care for chronic pelvic pain in a gynecology office-based practice. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How does the handbook and follow-up impact patient satisfaction? - How does the handbook and follow-up impact patient pain and quality of life scores? Participants will be randomized to receive the office standard of care, or standard of care plus a printed handbook customized to highlight their diagnosis, treatment plan and follow-up schedule.


Clinical Trial Description

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common and multi-factorial condition resulting in high physical, emotional and psychological burden for patients. Multimodal treatments have been shown to be most effective in addressing the multifactorial nature of CPP, but remain challenging for patients and providers to navigate. Investigators have created a CPP treatment guide which clearly defines resources and management strategies in an effort to help patients understand their own diagnosis, treatment options and follow up schedule. The treatment guide includes mobile and web-based resources and applications specifically chosen to empower patients with information and to promote self-efficacy. The treatment guide is designed to be easily understood, visually appealing, and largely translatable from institution to institution. Patients using the treatment guide will be followed with a clearly defined follow up schedule, which includes touch points between appointments to aid with resource navigation. The investigators hypothesize that patients with CPP who are provided our treatment guide will experience improved satisfaction with their care, in addition to improved quality of life measures and pain scores as compared to those who undergo standard treatment. ;
