Developing a pelvic pain questionnaire for women
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older and not past menopause, or you are on therapy to stop your periods for pelvic pain.
- You have had imaging (like an ultrasound or MRI) showing enlarged veins (over 5 mm) in your pelvis.
- A specialist believes your pain is related to these veins, and your pain gets worse with standing or walking, better when lying down.
- You can read and speak English or Spanish.
- You have not had a prior successful surgery for vein problems in your pelvis or kidney vein.

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 tests whether yoga therapy can help reduce chronic pelvic pain in women and non-binary individuals over 6 months. You'll join online yoga classes and see if they improve your pain and daily life.
This study tests two non-drug therapies — pain education and body awareness exercises — to see if they help women with long-term pelvic pain feel better. You would attend sessions to learn about pain and do gentle movements.
This study tests whether a type of talk therapy called cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) can help reduce chronic pelvic pain in women who do not have a clear physical cause for their pain. If you have ongoing pelvic pain that hasn't been linked to a specific medical condition, this therapy might offer relief by changing how you think about and cope with pain.
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.
This study looks at how chronic pelvic pain affects movement, sleep, and daily life in women. It may help find better ways to support women with this condition.
