Botox for Chronic Pelvic Pain
This study is looking at whether a more precise way of injecting botulinum neurotoxin (Botox) can better relieve chronic pelvic pain in women. Researchers want to compare the standard injection method to a new method that uses a special device (High Density Surface Electromyographic, precision botulinum neurotoxin injection guidance medical device) to guide the injections. You might be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 75 years old with a diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain for at least six months. The main goal is to see if the new method can reduce muscle tightness in the pelvic area one month after the injection. The current status of this study is unclear, and they plan to enroll 30 participants.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 30 women. It compares two ways of injecting botulinum neurotoxin: a standard method and a method guided by a special device.
- What's involved
- You would receive botulinum neurotoxin injections twice during the study. The guidance device would be used five times throughout the study.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary outcome is measured one month after the injection, suggesting follow-up at least for this period.

What this trial measures
- Hypertonic index of the pelvic muscles as measured by high-density surface-EMG (HD-sEMG)1 month post-injection
The muscle hypertonicity Index measured by using HD-sEMG which is a ratio between the root mean square (RMS) of pelvic floor muscle EMG at rest and contraction.
