The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the impact of an intervention to increase physical activity on pain, function and quality of life in women with chronic pelvic pain.
The primary aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the impact of moderate-intensity physical activity on pelvic pain in women with chronic pelvic pain. We will develop a moderate-intensity physical activity program for patients with chronic pelvic pain in conjunction with exercise physiologists and physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians. Based on prior research in fibromyalgia and other centralized pain disorders, we hypothesize that eight weeks of moderate-intensity physical activity will reduce pain intensity and pain interference in women with chronic pelvic pain. We will also evaluate the impact of moderate-intensity physical activity on physical function, fatigue, sexual function, sleep, anxiety, depression, catastrophization and patient global impression of change in women with chronic pelvic pain. We hypothesize that eight weeks of moderate-intensity physical activity will result in improvements in these measures of function and quality of life.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Experimental | This pilot study will enroll 25 women age 18-65 with greater than six months of noncyclic pelvic pain. Subjects will participate in an 8-week physical activity program specifically designed for patients with chronic pain and supervised by personal trainers and exercise physiologists in a rehab-focused, medically-based fitness center. Subjects will complete web-based assessment tools at the start of the program, immediately after completion of the 8-week program and four weeks after the conclusion of the program (at the 12-week time point). |

| Physical Activity | Behavioral | 8 week exercise program specifically designed for patients with chronic pain at Transitions Training Studio, a rehab-focused, medically-based fitness center based at the University of Michigan. The program is designed to gradually increase intensity and duration. If causes pain exacerbation, patients will go back to earlier level of intensity. It favors short, frequent activity episodes as this is often better tolerated than longer, infrequent episodes. The program begins with 30 minutes sessions 3 times per week with goal of increasing duration over course of the program. The program incorporates elements of flexibility, strength and cardio. Program design includes common elements but allows for a personalized program based on a subject's baseline fitness, interest and tolerance to activity. The program design emphasizes activities that patients can incorporate into their daily routine. |
