ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how well different treatments work for women who have chronic pelvic pain, a condition that causes ongoing pain in the lower belly area without a clear medical cause. The study will compare four types of treatments: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Pelvic Floor Therapy (PFT), medication, and a combination of CBT and PFT, along with a placebo (a treatment that doesn’t contain active medicine) to see which helps the most with pain relief.

Women who might join this study are those of reproductive age who have chronic pelvic pain without any obvious physical problems causing it. This includes women with conditions like overactive bladder or vulvodynia (a type of pain around the vaginal area). Women who are going through menopause, have other medical or hormonal issues, mental health disorders, or who use substances will not be eligible. Participants will receive one of the treatment options or a placebo and will be monitored to see how well their pain improves. This study is not yet recruiting, but it aims to find better ways to help women manage this often frustrating and painful condition.
