Description
Najam ul Hasan Abbasi and colleagues systematically reviewed in 2026 the psychosocial roots and treatment of chronic pelvic pain in women. The condition is complex, and stress, trauma, and mental illness frequently shape both its onset and its course, yet care often focuses on physical findings alone.
Searching four databases for studies from 2016 to 2025, the team selected eight cross-sectional studies and randomised trials that met strict criteria from an initial pool of 32. Synthesis linked psychological distress, unhealthy coping, early life adversity, and emotional trauma to persistent pain. The review argues for a biopsychosocial approach that pairs medical care with psychological support, trauma-informed care, and coping skills.
