Abstract

Chronic pelvic pain is a common condition in women and rates of consultation in general practice are similar to those for asthma and migraine. USA and UK population-based studies, together with data from UK hospital settings, demonstrate a substantial impact of chronic pelvic pain on health related quality of life. In this review we examine the current evidence for treatment of the condition, focusing on randomised controlled trials and including some insights from studies of women with dysmenorrhoea.
