This study examines the difficulties encountered during the recruitment of women into a chronic pelvic pain group within a psychological medicine department. The authors highlight that despite chronic pelvic pain being a common gynecological condition, participants often feel unsupported by healthcare professionals, which complicates engagement in research settings. The paper details specific barriers to referral and participation faced by the researchers when attempting to establish this support group. Relevance to endometriosis: Chronic pelvic pain is a primary symptom associated with endometriosis and adenomyosis, making this research relevant to understanding patient engagement challenges in conditions often causing these symptoms.
