What this trial studies
This observational study aims to analyze the clinical characteristics and pain levels of women diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) who underwent endovascular procedures. Researchers will retrospectively review patient files from the Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital, focusing on various factors such as age, body mass index, pain locations, and accompanying symptoms. Pain levels will be assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale-11 at three different time points: before treatment, one month after, and three months after the intervention.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are women aged 18-50 who have experienced abdominopelvic pain for over six months and have specific findings on imaging studies.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have pelvic congestion syndrome or those outside the specified age range may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of pelvic congestion syndrome and improve pain management strategies for affected patients.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on similar observational studies, the approach of evaluating pain in pelvic congestion syndrome through endovascular intervention has shown promise in other related research.
