Study pain relief after blocking gonadal veins for pelvic congestion
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how much pelvic pain improves after a procedure called gonadal vein embolization (blocking problem veins). It mainly applies to people diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome caused by venous (vein) problems, treated during a specific time window.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a female age 18 or older
- You have been diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome from vein problems (based on exam and imaging)
- You have no reasons your team cannot safely do coil embolization of the gonadal veins
- You had gonadal vein embolization done in Interventional Radiology between Oct 1, 2018 and Oct 1, 2019
- Your pelvic pain is not from another cause like nutcracker syndrome or a vein being pressed by a mass

This trial tests if blocking enlarged veins in the pelvis (called embolization) can reduce long-term pelvic pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help women whose pain is worse when standing or walking and better when lying down.
This trial compares two different methods for treating chronic pelvic pain caused by pelvic vein disorders. One method uses foam plus a medical glue, the other uses foam plus tiny metal coils. The goal is to find which approach works better.
This study aims to develop a new questionnaire to better understand and measure chronic pelvic pain in women, especially when it's linked to enlarged pelvic veins. You will be asked to take part in interviews and fill out surveys to help create a tool that reflects your experience.
This study looks at how blood flows from the legs in people with varicose veins in the pelvis. It may help doctors understand the link between pelvic and leg vein problems.
This study tests whether a drug called relugolix CT can reduce pelvic pain from endometriosis. You'll have brain scans and pain tests to measure how your body processes pain. It might help if other treatments haven't worked well.
This trial tests a weekly group program combining education, movement, and support to help manage chronic pelvic pain caused by endometriosis. It aims to improve quality of life without surgery.
