This study is looking at different ways to treat chronic pelvic pain (pain lasting at least 3 months) in women service members aged 18 to 50. It will compare three approaches: usual care (medication, education, exercise), a new approach called "emerging field-expedient care" (which includes manual therapy, dry needling, and breathing exercises), and "gold-standard intravaginal specialist care." The goal is to see if the emerging field-expedient care is better than usual care and as good as the gold-standard care. Researchers will measure your pain and pelvic floor symptoms using questionnaires at 1 week, and then at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. The study's current status is unclear, and it plans to enroll 300 participants.
