Physical Therapy Trial for Pelvic Pain

Leave a Comment

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is currently recruiting patients for a study to determine if a randomized trial of physical therapy for pelvic pain is feasible.

They are looking for people who suffer from the following conditions:

  • Interstitial Cystitis
  • Painful Bladder Syndrome
  • Chronic Prostatitis
  • Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

“This is a pilot study wherein eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either myofascial tissue manipulation or global therapeutic massage. Those receiving myofascial tissue manipulation will have targeted internal and external connective tissue manipulation focusing on the muscles and connective tissues of the pelvic floor, hip girdle, and abdomen. Those receiving global therapeutic massage will have non-specific somatic treatment with full-body Western massage.”

Eligibility Requirements:

  • 18 years old and above

  • female and male patients who have failed to respond to previous therapies for interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome

  • male patients who have failed to respond to previous therapies for chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome

Exclusion Criteria:

  • neurologic disorder affecting bladder
  • bladder cancer, prostate cancer, or urethral cancer
  • Location and Contact Information
