Summary

This research is studying what things change the way people think about treatment for chronic pelvic pain (CPP). The study team is also interested in whether a web-based educational and self-management program for chronic pelvic pain changes how people think about chronic pelvic pain treatments. The program contains several different self-guided modules that include cognitive and behavioral structuring, self-administration of acupressure, engaging in physical activity, and a brief introduction to pelvic floor physical therapy techniques. The study hypothesis is that patients with CPP will report that prior treatment experiences and most trusted source of medical information will be associated with baseline perceptions of various CPP treatment modalities.

Conditions

• Chronic Pelvic Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	My Pelvic Plan website	Following the baseline interview, participants will receive a link to a web-based self-guided program and have access for two weeks "My Pelvic Plan" that combines education on several individual conditions that often contribute to CPP, and will include instruction on cognitive and behavioral restructuring, self-administration of acupressure, engaging in physical activity, and a brief introduction to pelvic floor physical therapy techniques. Subsequent to this, participants will then complete another brief questionnaire after a two-week interval. This questionnaire will focus on willingness to consider specific treatment modalities, credibility/expectancy for specific treatment modalities, and a brief measure assessing self-efficacy for managing symptoms.
