First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding pain neuroscience education or basic body awareness therapy to standard physical therapy can help women with long-term pelvic pain. About 45 women will be split into three groups to compare these approaches. The goal is to see if these mind-body techniques reduce pain, improve pelvic muscle function, and boost quality of life.
