NCT ID NCT07487025
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study looks at how adults with chronic pelvic pain understand their pain and cope with it, and how these factors relate to their sexual function. Researchers will ask 50 participants to fill out questionnaires about pain knowledge, coping strategies, and sexual health. No treatments are given—the goal is to gather information that could guide future support and education.
