Study Summary
This study is being done to better understand and improve treatment for myofascial pelvic pain, a common cause of long-lasting pelvic pain in women. Myofascial pelvic pain is related to tight or dysfunctional pelvic floor muscles and can cause pain as well as bladder, bowel, and sexual problems. Current clinical evaluations mostly rely on physical examination and patient-reported symptoms and do not fully measure how the pelvic floor muscles are functioning. The purpose of this study is to measure pelvic floor muscle function using a noninvasive imaging method called near-infrared spectroscopy, or NIRS. This method measures changes in muscle blood flow and oxygen levels during muscle contraction and relaxation. The study will examine whether pelvic floor muscle function improves after different treatments and whether these physiologic changes are associated with improvements in pain and symptoms. The study will enroll 120 adult women who have had pelvic pain for at least three months and have pelvic floor muscle tenderness on examination. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: education with relaxation exercises, pelvic floor physical therapy focused on myofascial release, or vaginal medication used to help relax pelvic floor muscles. Participants will take part in four study visits over a six-month period. During these visits, they will complete questionnaires about pain and pelvic symptoms, undergo pelvic floor examinations, and have pelvic floor muscle imaging using the NIRS device while performing brief muscle contractions and relaxations. Some visits will also include collection of blood, urine, and vaginal samples to measure inflammation. The information gained from this study may help improve the diagnosis and treatment of myofascial pelvic pain by providing objective measures of pelvic floor muscle function and identifying which treatments are most effective for different patients.
