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.
