Can AI personalize exercise to ease pelvic pain?
NCT ID NCT07810218
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Mount Sinai are testing whether a reinforcement learning system can deliver personalized daily exercise recommendations to people with chronic pelvic pain. The study enrolls 45 adults who receive alternating standard and AI-generated exercise advice over four two-week phases. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and if participants stick to the recommendations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- personalized exercise recommendations generated by reinforcement learning
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a scalable way to deliver personalized exercise guidance for chronic pelvic pain, potentially improving adherence and symptom management.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study testing feasibility, not effectiveness. The AI may not produce useful recommendations, and participants might not adhere or see symptom relief.

Inclusion criteria: * Self-reported CPPD (e.g., endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, etc.) based on clinician diagnosis * Aged 18-55 years. * Ownership of an iOS or Android smartphone. * Willingness to self-track daily symptoms, exercise activities, and self-management behaviors using a smartphone research app. * Willingness to wear an activity tracker for the study duration. * Willingness to follow exercise recommendations from a smartphone research app, provided no adverse symptoms occur. * Ability to read and write in English sufficient to understand study materials and communications. * At least intermittently physically active (e.g., ≥30 minutes of walking twice per week). Exclusion criteria: * Absolute contraindications to PA (e.g., recent myocardial infarction, complete heart block, acute congestive heart failure, unstable angina, or uncontrolled severe hypertension, BP ≥180/110 mm Hg). * More than two "Yes" responses on the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) (16) without physician clearance. * Major life events expected during the next 10 weeks (e.g., pregnancy, planned surgery, or extended travel likely to interfere with participation). * Current or planned pregnancy within the next 6 months. * Having given birth in the past 6 months or currently nursing. * Inability to wear an activity tracker or use the app for the study duration. * Complete inactivity (i.e., \<60 minutes of moderate-intensity PA per week).
