  • Title: Recognizing myofascial pelvic pain in the female patient with chronic pelvic pain.
    Author: Pastore EA, Katzman WB.
    Journal: J Obstet Gynecol Neonatal Nurs; 2012; 41(5):680-91. PubMed ID: 22862153.
    Abstract:
    Myofascial pelvic pain (MFPP) is a major component of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and often is not properly identified by health care providers. The hallmark diagnostic indicator of MFPP is myofascial trigger points in the pelvic floor musculature that refer pain to adjacent sites. Effective treatments are available to reduce MFPP, including myofascial trigger point release, biofeedback, and electrical stimulation. An interdisciplinary team is essential for identifying and successfully treating MFPP.
