Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to obtain imaging biomarkers based on changes in activity patterns and changes in brain connectivity obtained with the analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and tractography that are related to chronic pelvic pain

Study Groups

Pain education

The patient education provides a basic set of information that includes the explanation of possible pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the development of chronic pain. The main objective is to reduce pain threatening and alarmist interpretation. The patient must understand that the pain is not necessarily a sign of injury, but the consequence of a maladaptive central sensitization. One element of this therapeutic strategy is to help the patient to perform physical activities that involve a gradual exposition to stimuli associated with their pain and promote physical recovery exposure. Pain education also aims to reduce fear-avoidance behavior and the patient's disability.
