Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a prevalent chronic urological disease. CP/CPPS severely impacts patients' quality of life. It is characterized by recurrent pelvic floor pain, lower urinary tract symptoms, and often accompanied by psychological issues and sexual dysfunction (duration ≥3 months, no confirmed infection/pathology). The investigators have completed a large-sample, multi-center randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving 440 patients with CP/CPPS before. The clinical trial confirmed the sustained efficacy of acupuncture for the symptoms of pain, lower urinary tract symptoms, and anxiety and depression among patients with CP/CPPS. However, the trial revealed no significant improvements in sexual dysfunction in the acupuncture group compared to the sham acupuncture group after 8 weeks of treatment.To address this limitation, the current study is designed, which aims to optimize the clinical acupuncture protocol for CP/CPPS and evaluate whether it can enhance outcomes for psychogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) associated. Additionally, mass cytometry and liquid suspension chip technology will be used to explore systemic and local immune mechanisms underlying acupuncture's effects for CP/CPPS. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and metabolomics will be integrated to analyze patients' systemic states from central nervous system and metabolic perspectives, comprehensively elucidating the multi-dimensional mechanisms by which acupuncture alleviates CP/CPPS.
NCT00371033
The purpose of this study is to determine whether pregabalin is an effective treatment for Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome.
NCT06161805
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of esketamine versus placebo on the NRS score for chronic pelvic pain. Secondary endpoints are to assess pain scores, side-effects, quality of life, depressive symptoms and pain coping.
NCT05968937
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if baclofen vaginal suppositories improve symptoms of Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP). Participants in this study will take four short questionnaires prior to being randomized. Randomization is like flipping a coin; participants have an equal likelihood of being randomized to the treatment group (vaginal baclofen suppositories) or placebo group (vaginal suppository without baclofen ingredient). Participants will take their assigned treatment nightly for 8 weeks. Follow up visits will be at the 4 and 8 week time frames, when questionnaires will again be completed. Participants may receive additional treatments for CPP during the course of the study. After 8 weeks Participants will be offered a prescription for baclofen suppositories and the study drug will be stopped. Follow up on patient symptoms with questionnaires will again occur at 12 weeks.
NCT06816095
Gynecological cancers, including those affecting the ovaries, uterus, and cervix, represent a significant health burden for women. While survival rates have improved, many women experience chronic pelvic pain secondary to cancer treatment, especially radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This treatment-induced pelvic pain can be of difficult management and significantly affects patients' quality of life. In our experience, ozone therapy has emerged as a promising complementary treatment for pain relief in patients with chronic diseases, including side effects of cancer treatment. However, the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms influencing its effectiveness have not yet been thoroughly studied. The aim of this prospective study is to analyze how ozone therapy modulates the expression of certain genes and its impact on epigenetic clocks, which could help predict pain response.
NCT06644261
Chronic pain affecting the pelvic and urogenital area is a major clinical problem and can have a profound impact on quality of life and health care costs. Pelvic pain arising from entrapment or neuropathy of the pudendal nerve is known as pudendal neuralgia, which results in chronic perineal pain. This pain syndrome is difficult to diagnose and patients with pudendal neuralgia may present to providers with refractory chronic pelvic pain. Pudendal nerve infiltration or pudendal nerve block (PNB) serves as a diagnostic tool and treatment modality for patients with this condition. To date, there are no published randomized controlled trials comparing imaging-guided PNB to transvaginal finger-guided PNB. While one can assume that image-guided nerve blocks will provide better accuracy for injection and potentially better efficacy in pain relief as a result, no published data exists comparing the outcomes and efficacy between modalities. The purpose of this prospective, non-inferiority, randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy of pain relief from bilateral transvaginal finger-guided pudendal nerve block versus bilateral fluoroscopy-guided trans gluteal pudendal nerve block for patients with pudendal neuralgia.
NCT06673108
The goal of this clinical study is to determine if 8 treatments with photobiomodulation using near-infrared laser energy can help reduce chronic pelvic pain in women. Additionally, researchers want to determine if treatment with this type of energy can also alleviate pain with activities such as standing, sitting, urinating, having bowel movements and intercourse.
NCT06425575
This goal of this study is to determine whether a novel biologic, i.e., an "amniotic suspension allograft" (ASA) will reduce pain and improve quality of life (QoL) in women stricken with chronic pelvic pain (CPP). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Weather pain in the genitalia is reduced with treatment * Weather bladder or urination pain is reduced with treatment * Weather any adverse events occur following treatment Patient responses to pain and QoL will be collected before and 6-12 months after treatment.
NCT06115083
The goal of this randomized controlled study is to establish the long-term effect of pelvic floor re-education using biofeedback and home training for men with chronic pelvic pain. The main questions it aims to answer are if pelvic floor re-education using bio-feedback and home training will give a long-lasting improvement in symptoms, assessed with a validated symptom score (the National Institute of Health - Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index) and if an improvement in symptoms can be correlated to objective measurements of pelvic floor function. Participants will be asked to do pelvic floor exercises daily during six months with additional sessions of bio-feedback training. The control group will have no changes in their on-going treatment for their chronic pelvic pain and will be offered to enter the treatment group after six months.

Is the effect of TENS comparable to sham stimulation therapy in patients with chronic pelvic pain?
NCT00499317
Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a condition with several causes of which some remain unknown. It is believed that some types of CP may be genetic or passed down (inherited) from one generation to the next. In this study, we are collecting genetic material and medical information to try to determine if genetic factors play a role in CP/CPPS. We will be collecting DNA (from Blood/Saliva sample) and urine from each participant. Bladder tissue from affected individuals will also be collected. Individuals and families with CP/CPPS will be enrolled. Family members of an individual with CP/CPPS are eligible whether or not they also experience CP/CPPS symptoms.
NCT04275297
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a severe pain condition affecting 3-8 million people in the United States lacking treatments that work. Emotional suffering is common in IC/BPS and known to make physical symptoms worse, and studies show patient sub-groups respond differently to treatment. By creating and testing a psychosocial intervention specific to IC/BPS, we will learn if this intervention improves patient wellness, who the intervention works best for, and how the body's pain processing influences outcomes.

The primary aims of this research are three folds: (1) To identify more relatively effective interventions for improving pain symptoms in CP/CPPS patients. (2) To ascertain the correlation between PFM elastic modulus and tenderness symptoms. This may find a more objective method of assessing efficacy. (3) To determine the correlation between the intensity of the sympathetic response and the patient's symptoms and to explore other possible pathogenetic mechanisms.
NCT05546203
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of ischemic compression and low-level laser therapy methods combined with exercise on the myofascial trigger points in women with Chronic Pelvic Pain and to determine which method is more effective. Methods: It was a parallel designed, single-blind pilot randomized clinical trial. Patients were enrolled in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (at Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa). The patients were diagnosed by a gynecologist (F.G.U and C. Y.), referred to the clinical laboratory of physiotherapy and rehabilitation to participate (by physiotherapists K.S. and E.K.M.) in the trial from September 2017 to June 2019. Twenty-eight women patients with Chronic Pelvic Pain were included into the trial. Patients were randomized into two groups. Group 1 received ischemic compression and Group 2 received low-level laser therapy twice a week for 6 weeks. Both groups received the same standard exercise program. Pain, range of motion, pelvic floor symptom severity, quality of life, satisfaction, anxiety, and depression were assessed after 6 weeks and 1-year follow up.
NCT05366517
The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of LiST retreatment for CP/CPPS patients.A total of 50 patients with CP/CPPS diagnosis who were previously treated with 6 sessions of LiST will participate in this study.The primary study parameter is the CP/CPPS-related pain complaints and it will be assessed by the NIH-CPSI
NCT04552431
Although the cause of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is unknown, physicians sometimes try to treat it with antibiotics or alpha-receptor blockers. In this multicenter, double-blind factorial trial, 196 men with moderately severe CP/CPPS were randomly assigned to 6 weeks of treatment with ciprofloxacin, tamsulosin, both drugs, or placebo. Neither ciprofloxacin nor tamsulosin substantively reduced symptoms. Ciprofloxacin and tamsulosin were not effective treatments for CP/CPPS. Patients had long-standing, refractory CP/CPPS and received trial treatments for only 6 weeks. Patients with new diagnoses who are given longer courses of the trial treatments might respond differently.
