This study investigates the effects of different techniques on managing chronic pelvic pain in women. Chronic pelvic pain is pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis that lasts for more than six months, and its cause is often unknown. The study aims to compare the outcomes of two different treatment approaches: muscle energy technique and aerobic exercises.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms. One group will receive muscle energy technique, a type of physical therapy that involves stretching and muscle contraction. The other group will engage in aerobic exercises, which are activities that increase heart rate and breathing. The study will assess changes in pain and disability levels among participants.
- Who can participate: Women aged 25 to 45 years with chronic pelvic pain lasting more than six months can participate. Key eligibility criteria include having moderate to severe pain and no known pelvic pathology or recent surgery.
- Study details: The study will compare the effects of muscle energy technique and aerobic exercises on pain and disability.
- Study Timelines: The study will last until July 1, 2022.
