Abstract

The planning of effective services for patients with particular conditions demands an understanding of epidemiology, pathophysiology and therapy. In the case of chronic pain in general, and chronic pelvic pain in particular, elements of the pathophysiology are beginning to be elucidated, and certain treatments that were formerly deployed only in pain clinics are now entering use in gynaecological settings. These developments have been reviewed elsewhere1. Here we assess the scale of the health problem posed by chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and the kind of clinical services that would optimize outcomes.
