Excerpt

In response to the need for a comprehensive evaluation of the evidence regarding current therapies for chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in adult women, a systematic review assessed the comparative effectiveness of surgical and non-surgical treatments for CPP and the potential harms of non-surgical approaches. This review focused on noncyclic and mixed cyclic/noncyclic CPP, and excluded pain that was associated with dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, or dysuria. A total of 36 studies published between January 1990 and May 2011 were reviewed. The full report, listing all studies, is available at www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/pelvicpain.cfm. This summary, based on the full report of research evidence, is provided to assist in decisionmaking along with considering a patient’s values and preferences. Reviews of evidence should not be construed to represent clinical recommendations or guidelines.
