Clinical Trial Summary

The patients diagnosed with pelvic pain will be included in the study. Orthopedic tests for pelvic pain were performed after routine gynecological examinations. After perineometer measurement, pelvic floor muscle sensitivity grading, ultrasound, and pain score evaluation, participants will be randomized and divided into 3 groups. According to a randomization plan the first group will be instructed by a physiotherapist to receive an internal myofascial trigger point release technique, the second group receive an external myofascial trigger point release technique, and the third group receive a video of relaxation exercises related to pelvic pain. After the application, measurement of perineometer and pelvic floor muscle sensitivity grading, ultrasound, and pain evaluations will be repeated.


Clinical Trial Description

Turkey has been affected country from a busy and stressful lifestyle in our changing world and that leads to pelvic floor dysfunction has increased rapidly in Turkey. Pelvic pain that has in 1 out of every 7 women causes overactivity of pelvic floor muscles with increasing stress factors. In addition, it becomes chronic due to both the diagnosis process and the time-out of the right treatment and deteriorates the quality of life of women. There is no special pelvic floor physiotherapy for the management of pelvic pain in our country, which also causes psychosocial problems. On the other hand, myofascial trigger point release technique, which is proposed in addition to medical treatment alone or in pelvic floor physiotherapy, has been one of the current research areas in the world. However, there is no study in the national and international literature comparing internal and external myofascial trigger point relaxation techniques and also evaluating transperineal ultrasound. This study is unique in terms of comparing two different applications (internal and external trigger point relaxation technique) with ultrasound measurements in the literature. 33 women diagnosed with pelvic pain between the ages of 18-55 will be included in this study. Orthopedic tests for pelvic pain will be performed after routine gynecological examinations. After perineometer measurement, pelvic floor muscle sensitivity grading, ultrasound and pain score evaluation, participants will be randomized and divided into 3 groups. The first group will receive internal myofascial trigger point release technique, the second group will receive external myofascial trigger point release technique, and the third group will be shown a video of relaxation exercises related to pelvic pain. After the application, measurement of perineometer and pelvic floor muscle sensitivity grading, ultrasound and pain evaluations will be repeated. ;
