Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Women aged 18-65 with chronic pelvic pain diagnosed by a gynecologist, and healthy women without CPPS who meet the eligibility criteria.

Probably not a fit

Some participants may not experience any direct benefit, as this is an observational study.

What this trial studies

This observational, cross-sectional study compares women with chronic pelvic pain syndrome to healthy controls to examine links between kinesiophobia, physical activity, sleep quality, and health-related quality of life. Participants complete validated questionnaires including the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, IPAQ-SF, PSQI, and SF-36. Data will be collected at a gynecology outpatient clinic to explore associations between fear of movement and daily functioning in the CPPS population. The study will describe how these factors differ between groups and may generate hypotheses for future interventional work.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, findings could help clinicians understand how fear of movement and lifestyle factors relate to quality of life in CPPS, potentially guiding patient-centered management in the future.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research using similar questionnaires in CPPS or pelvic pain populations has shown meaningful associations between fear of movement, activity, sleep, and quality of life.
