Pelvic floor physical therapy and mindfulness: approaches for chronic pelvic pain in women-a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Abstract
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in women is a complex syndrome and symptoms are associated with sexual dysfunction, musculoskeletal and myofascial disorders, and comorbid psychiatric disorders. Its widespread prevalence results in substantial expense due to therapy and lost productivity, and it is perhaps one of the most urgent and neglected medical needs. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the role of mindfulness and pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) in the treatment or management of women with CPP.
