A Scoping Review on Interventions for Chronic Pelvic Pain

Abstract

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a complex and debilitating condition affecting a significant portion of the global population, predominantly women. This review dwells on various interventions to alleviate the burden of CPP and improve patients’ quality of life. Traditional approaches have included patient education, pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. However, the limited efficacy and potential side effects of long-term medications necessitate a multidisciplinary approach. The review lists a comprehensive tabulation of results from systematic reviews and meta-analyses on CPP interventions published in the past 5 years.
