Cognitive talk therapy for chronic pelvic pain
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or pain education to standard care helps people with long-term pelvic pain feel better. CBT helps change unhelpful thoughts and habits around pain, while pain education teaches you more about how pain works.
