Pain and symptoms in pelvic congestion syndrome
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how pain and other symptoms relate to a condition called pelvic congestion syndrome, which happens when veins in the pelvis become enlarged. It may help doctors better understand and treat this cause of long-term pelvic pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have had pain in your belly or pelvic area for more than 6 months.

This study tests a minimally invasive procedure that blocks abnormal veins in the pelvis to relieve long-term pelvic pain. It may help women with pelvic congestion syndrome.
This trial tests a procedure to block off faulty veins in the pelvis to treat chronic pelvic pain that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It is for women whose pain is caused by compressed or blocked veins in the iliac area.
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 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 women’s chronic pelvic pain that comes with other common pain conditions. It may help researchers understand what supports pelvic and pelvic-floor health when pain has lasted for months.
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.
