Abstract
Diagnosis and management of chronic pelvic pain are greatly facilitated by a multidisciplinary approach integrating medical intervention with identification and management of socioenvironmental problems, cognitive-behavioral pain strategies, and treatment of concurrent psychological morbidity. Available evidence suggests that outcomes, including pain severity, general health and functional status, and disability are more significantly improved after this approach than after isolated medical or surgical interventions. Because of the chronic nature of many of the underlying psychological and social factors predisposing to chronic symptom formation and maintenance, care of the patient with chronic pelvic pain must be continuous and longitudinal if recurrent adverse sequelae, including disability, inappropriate healthcare utilization, and recurrent depression, are to be prevented.
