New tool aims to measure fear of movement in pelvic pain sufferers
NCT ID NCT07323849
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study adapted and tested a questionnaire called the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for people with pelvic pain (TSK-PP). Researchers wanted to see if it reliably measures fear of movement in this group. 170 adults with chronic pelvic pain filled out the questionnaire and other surveys at one time point. No treatments were given; the goal was to validate the tool for future research and clinical use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a reliable way to measure fear of movement in pelvic pain patients, helping tailor treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no treatment, so it cannot directly improve symptoms. The questionnaire may not work well in all patient groups.
