Therapy for chronic pelvic pain in women
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
