“…When studies used the same group of participants, they were only included once in the total count. Sample sizes in the included studies ranged from one single case study (Goyal et al, 2017) to a sample of 487 participants (Daniels et al, 2009). Of the eight studies that provided information on the race and/or ethnicity of their participants, seven had either a majority or a full sample of White women.…”

The Role of Trauma and Mental Health in the Treatment of Chronic Pelvic Pain: A Systematic Review of the Intervention Literature

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a widespread health issue with unclear etiology that has been linked to a history of trauma among women. This condition is known to be highly comorbid with, and potentially exacerbated by psychiatric conditions, as well as other gynecological concerns and functional pain syndromes. Many comorbid conditions are also related to a history of trauma, and cases of CPP with comorbidity are known to be resistant to treatment. While the prevalence of a traumatic history among females with CPP has been established, less is known about how the role of trauma is addressed in the intervention literature. The purpose of this systematic review was to explore how the role of trauma, and to a lesser extent, mental health, is addressed in modern intervention studies for females with CPP. All qualitative and quantitative studies providing primary or secondary results of an intervention for females with CPP published between January 1998 and May 2018 were included and coded independently by two reviewers. Twenty-eight articles met inclusion criteria. Of these, none focused exclusively on patients with a history of trauma; one study implicitly focused on trauma-specific symptoms as an outcome, while two studies screened patients for a history of trauma. Of the 10 studies with a focus on mental health, only three simultaneously addressed trauma. To address this gap in the literature, future studies can prioritize intervention designs that place emphasis on the role of trauma in regard to patient characteristics and outcome variables.

“…Visceral mesoderm falls within the definition of fascia. There are several articles in literature that explain how the OMT fascial can improve the function of the organ, the symptoms, the quality of life in case of chronic visceral disorders, using manual indirect techniques on the organ (through pressure on the different tissue layers to influence the bowel): in some cases there is a reduction in drug dosage for pain and the reduction of pain in somatic areas (viscerosomatic reflexes) [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. Further research is needed to provide evidence of the effectiveness of the visceral approach [46].…”

In osteopathic clinical practice and in the teaching of osteopathic medicine, the visceral manipulation approach is included. The knowledge that some viscera satisfy the definition of fascial tissue will allow the osteopath to improve its practice. In the second part of the article, we will give a conclusive definition of fascia, and we will explain the embryological development of the heart and how the fascial tissue can be subject to manual treatment. This text is the first in the international scientific field that discusses the inclusion of some viscera in the context of what is considered fascia, through our committee for the definition and nomenclature of the fascial tissue of the Foundation of Osteopathic Research and Clinical Endorsement (FORCE).

“…In this context, rehabilitation, through the vast array of therapeutic strategies for pain control might offer a substantial benefit to ameliorate pain-related disabilities and to improve HRQoL in endometriosis women. Indeed, a case-control study focused on visceral osteopathy [37], a retrospective study evaluating electrical muscle stimulation [38] and two randomized controlled trials exploring the potential benefits of pulsed high-intensity laser therapy [39] and yoga [40] have reported a significant improvement in HRQoL in these patients, although the contribution to individ-ual occupational roles have not been addressed yet. Moreover, in contrast to osteopathy (with limited scientific evidence) or laser therapy (with non-standardized dosimetry), therapeutic exercise has been widely demonstrated to induce either soft tissue remodelling [41] and modifications in the nervous system [42], of particular interest in endometriosis given the elevated prevalence of central sensitization in these patients [43,44].…”

Aim: The ‘Physio-EndEA’ study aims to explore the potential benefits of a therapeutic exercise program (focused on lumbopelvic stabilization and tolerance to exertion) on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of symptomatic endometriosis women. Design: The present study will use a parallel-group randomized controlled trial design. Methods: A total of 22 symptomatic endometriosis women will be randomized 1:1 to the Physio-EndEA or usual care groups. The ‘Physio-EndEA’ program will consist of a one-week lumbopelvic stabilization learning phase followed by an eight-week phase of stretching, aerobic and resistance exercises focused on the lumbopelvic area that will be sequentially instructed and supervised by a trained physiotherapist (with volume and intensity progression) and adapted daily to the potential of each participant. The primary outcome measure is HRQoL. The secondary outcome measures included clinician-reported outcomes (pressure pain thresholds, muscle thickness and strength, flexibility, body balance and cardiorespiratory fitness) and patient-reported outcomes (pain intensity, physical fitness, chronic fatigue, sexual function, gastrointestinal function and sleep quality). Discussion: Findings of this study will help to identify cost-effective non-pharmacological options (such as this exercise-based intervention) that may contribute to the improvement of HRQoL in symptomatic endometriosis women.
