Abstract

Persistent pelvic pain is a prevalent condition that negatively impacts one’s physical, psychological, social, and sexual wellbeing. Pain science education (PSE) involves learning about the biology of pain and is commonly integrated into the management of persistent pain. However, PSE is yet to be thoroughly investigated for persistent pelvic pain potentially due to the lack of targeted curricula, including learning concepts. The aim of this study was to gain consensus on PSE learning concepts important for persistent pelvic pain according to expert clinicians.
