First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether a minimally invasive procedure called endovascular embolization can relieve chronic pelvic pain in women with pelvic congestion syndrome. The study will enroll 30 women who have had pelvic pain for more than six months and have imaging evidence of faulty pelvic veins. Researchers will measure changes in pain levels and quality of life six months after the procedure.
