Light test for muscle-based pelvic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study uses a light device on the skin to detect muscle trigger points in women with long-term pelvic pain. The goal is to see if near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can help diagnose myofascial pelvic pain more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 100 years old
- You have had pelvic pain for more than 6 months
- Your average daily pain is at least 4 on a 0–10 scale
- You have tender or trigger points in your pelvic floor muscles found by exam
- You agree not to start new pain treatments during the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study measures how tight and sensitive your pelvic floor muscles are before and after treatment for chronic pelvic pain. Researchers want to understand if strengthening these muscles can help reduce pain that has lasted more than 3 months.
This trial tests a treatment that uses gentle electrical stimulation through the vagina to reduce long-term pelvic pain caused by tight pelvic floor muscles. You might join if your pain has lasted over 6 months and exam shows specific muscle “trigger points.”
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation device can reduce pelvic pain. You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: stimulation over the spine, over a nerve bundle, or a placebo (sham) treatment. The study aims to find a new treatment option for people whose pain has not responded to standard therapies.
This study tests a conservative (non-surgical, non-medication) approach to help women service members with long-lasting pelvic or lower belly pain. It aims to see if this care can reduce pain and improve daily life.
This study tests a light therapy (photobiomodulation) to see if it can reduce pain and improve sexual function in women who have painful sex. The treatment is a non-invasive light device applied to the pelvic area.
This trial compares radiofrequency treatment, myofascial therapy, and no treatment to see which is most effective for women with chronic pelvic pain caused by tight or tender pelvic floor muscles. It aims to help reduce pain and improve quality of life.
