Background:
Chronic pelvic pain represents a multifactorial problem of unknown etiology. International standardized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches do not exist.
Methods:
Medline and PubMed databases were searched for systematic reviews and guidelines for prevalence and therapy of chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
Results:
Frequency, clinical picture, and treatment concepts for various forms of chronic pelvic pain are presented. If established treatments fail, then multimodal therapy concepts are recommended. Controlled studies, which fulfill evidence-based medicine criteria, are lacking.
Conclusion:
The success of multimodal therapeutic approaches in other chronic pain diseases should lead to the development and verification of these for chronic pelvic pain.
