Overview
Brief Summary
Chronic pelvis pain is very common between adult women. Significant progress is made in clarifying the multifactorial model of chronic pain pathogenesis, but a more complete assessment is important in order to improve the therapeutic approach. The purpose of this study is stablish a clinical and symptomatological profile of women with chronic pelvic pain.
Detailed Description
Chronic pelvic pain is defined as non-menstrual or noncyclic pelvic pain with duration of at least 6 months. This pain interfere with habitual activities and requires clinical or surgical treatment. It is a complex interaction between the gastrointestinal, urinary, gynecologic, musculoskeletal, neurologic and endocrine systems influenced by psychological factors. Its prevalence range between 3 and 8% among women aged 15-73 years, ranging from 14 to 24% among women of reproductive age. It is very important a multidimensional approach in order to stablish a more specific profile.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in postural control
Time Frame: Change from baseline postural control at 8 weeks
Postural control will be assessed using the Mini-BESTest, a 14-item test that focuses on dynamic balance, specifically anticipatory transitions (six items), reactive postural control (six items), sensory orientation (six items), and dynamic gait (10 items). Each item is scored from 0 to 2; a score of 0 indicates that a person is unable to perform the task, whereas a score of 2 is normal. The best score is the maximum amount of points, being 28.
Secondary Outcomes
- Self perceived health status(Baseline, 8 weeks.)
- Trigger points evaluation(baseline)
- Spinal assessment(baseline)
- Nervous assessment(baseline)
- Balance under dual task conditions(Baseline, 8 weeks)
