Summary

This study looked at whether a group therapy program combining psychotherapy and physiotherapy could help women with long-lasting pelvic or belly pain. Only 8 women took part, and the study was stopped early. Researchers measured changes in pain impact, daily activities, and emotional well-being using questionnaires.

Active substance

group therapy combining psychotherapy and physiotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could offer a non-drug way to help women manage chronic pelvic and belly pain and improve their quality of life.

What could go wrong

The trial was terminated early and included only 8 women, so results are very limited. It is unclear if the therapy works better than no treatment or other options.
