Filter by:Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective treatment for patients with chronic pelvic pain. The investigators will evaluate how safe and effective closed-loop spinal cord stimulation is in treating these patients; closed-loop spinal cord stimulation is a more novel method in delivering spinal cord stimulation that controls energy output of the device based on real-time feedback on how the device is stimulating the spinal cord.
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.
The purpose of this study is to see if a randomized controlled trial of ovarian vein and pelvic vein embolization versus venography alone could determine outcomes for women with chronic pelvic pain and pelvic varicose veins. The data gathered will assist in addressing changes in quality of life in patients who have ovarian/pelvic vein embolization versus no embolization.
Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive FDA approved treatment for urinary and fecal incontinence, urinary frequency, urgency, and urinary retention. In this study we are assessing the effectiveness of sacral neuromodulation in women with suffering from chronic pelvic pain (CPP), through a single device implant procedure.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if baclofen vaginal suppositories improve symptoms of Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP). Participants in this study will take four short questionnaires prior to being randomized. Randomization is like flipping a coin; participants have an equal likelihood of being randomized to the treatment group (vaginal baclofen suppositories) or placebo group (vaginal suppository without baclofen ingredient). Participants will take their assigned treatment nightly for 8 weeks. Follow up visits will be at the 4 and 8 week time frames, when questionnaires will again be completed. Participants may receive additional treatments for CPP during the course of the study. After 8 weeks Participants will be offered a prescription for baclofen suppositories and the study drug will be stopped. Follow up on patient symptoms with questionnaires will again occur at 12 weeks.
The primary cause of the complex interaction of chronic pelvic pain originates from the visceral organs in the pelvic cavity, and it has been observed that musculoskeletal dysfunctions (such as increased muscle activity in the pelvic floor muscles) are often accompanied by visceral painful stimuli in the pelvic region as a result of shared innervation and visceral-somatic convergence. This study aims to investigate the effect of breathing exercises combined with pelvic floor exercises on pain, pelvic floor muscle activity, psychological factors, and quality of life in women with chronic pelvic pain.
The primary aims of this research are three folds: (1) To identify more relatively effective interventions for improving pain symptoms in CP/CPPS patients. (2) To ascertain the correlation between PFM elastic modulus and tenderness symptoms. This may find a more objective method of assessing efficacy. (3) To determine the correlation between the intensity of the sympathetic response and the patient's symptoms and to explore other possible pathogenetic mechanisms.
