Light at the end of the tunnel for pelvic pain diagnosis?
NCT ID NCT07181447
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new device that uses near-infrared light to measure pelvic floor muscle fitness in women with myofascial pelvic pain, a condition that affects up to 26% of women. The goal is to create a simple, non-invasive diagnostic tool that could replace the need for internal exams by specialists. Researchers will enroll 110 women to see if the device can accurately diagnose the condition and predict effective treatments.
