The paper is a literature review evaluating evidence for complementary therapies in managing chronic pelvic pain (DPC) by searching PubMed/MEDLINE from February 2022 to January 2024 across diverse health contexts. It reports that pelvic floor physiotherapy, psychological treatments, acupuncture, and neuromodulation have evidence of effectiveness, while lifestyle changes such as exercise, dietary modifications, and smoking cessation are highlighted despite limited scientific evidence; it also notes promising pharmacologic options including tricyclic antidepressants, gabapentin, and SNRIs/SSRIs, and states that progestogens and GnRH agonists/antagonists are indicated particularly when endometriosis is present. The review emphasizes that the overall role of surgery in DPC remains uncertain and that no well-defined treatment protocol has been established, calling for more evidence-based research. Relevance to endometriosis: it states that progestogens, GnRH agonists and antagonists are indicated especially in the presence of endometriosis, although its main focus is a broad review of complementary therapies for chronic pelvic pain.
