Abstract

Chronic pelvic pain is a complex symptom that can present without obvious pathology and yet cause significant disability and long-term distress. This chapter will focus on a practical approach to patient care and review important aspects of patient evaluation, pharmacologic therapies, adjuvant therapies, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. The information reviewed here will enable providers to develop a patient-centered approach to pain management with the goal of improving functional status and the overall quality of life of women with chronic pelvic pain.
