“…When combined with standard gynecologic care, somatocognitive therapy improved psychological stress, pain experience, and motor functions of women with CPP [21]. Cognitive behavioral therapy, alone or within the context of a pain rehabilitation program, has the greatest empirical evidence for success [21][22][23]. Although this intervention may be limited by cost or patient compliance or acceptance, psychological treatment may decrease suffering and disability in CPP patients [7].…”

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) has many potential causes and is often a complex disorder with multiple contributing etiologies. The evaluation and treatment of women with CPP often requires a multidimensional approach. The treatment of CPP consists of two approaches: 1) treatment of pain itself or global treatment, and 2) treatment of disease-specific etiologies. Most often, treatment requires a combination of both approaches. This article reviews recent literature in the global treatment of CPP, including pharmacologic, psychotherapy, and neuroablative, as well as specific interventions for endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, pelvic adhesive disease, adenomyosis, and pelvic venous congestion.

“…Elements of operant behavioral therapy have been incorporated into the broader treatment approach of cognitivebehavioral therapy (CBT) for pain, where cognitive elements are also addressed. Given the rise in popularity of CBT for chronic pain management, there are few examples in the recent literature in which operant behavioral therapy is evaluated in its pure form (Molton et al 2007). However, a relatively recent clinical trial compared the use of operant behavioral therapy alone with its use in combination with an active physical treatment (Smeets et al 2009).…”

Psychological treatment has emerged as a common component of a multidimensional and interdisciplinary plan of pain care for many persons with persistent pain. Treatments are informed by a biopsychosocial model of pain and a long history of psychological research that has identified the central role of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional factors that are believed to contribute to the perpetuation, if not the development, of chronic pain and pain-related disability and emotional distress. Empirically supported self-regulatory, behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and acceptance and commitment interventions are reviewed, and current and future interventions are highlighted. Important issues related to individual differences and disparities in the experience of pain and pain treatment are discussed. In particular, race and ethnicity are considered, and special considerations for the management of pain in children and older adults are discussed.

“…Additionally, the Internet is increasingly accessible and is used often for obtaining health information (Fox, 2007). A Cochrane Collaboration review of computer-delivered interventions for people with a wide variety of chronic diseases found improvements in knowledge, perceived social support, health behaviors, and clinical outcomes (Murray et al, 2005). …”
