About this study
This project will develop and preliminarily examine RESPECT, a trauma-sensitive psychological and physical therapy intervention to treat chronic pelvic pain, posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTS), and dysfunctional sexual behavior among women with sexual abuse histories. Patients will be recruited after being referred to pelvic floor physical therapy for treatment of chronic pelvic pain. Participants will complete seven sessions of individual cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. Physical therapy will be provided by clinicians who have been trained in trauma-sensitive treatment techniques. Treatment acceptability and outcomes will be assessed at baseline, mid intervention, post-intervention and follow-up via self-report measures. The RESPECT protocol is expected to be feasible to implement among sexual abuse survivors and to be well liked by patients. RESPECT is expected to reduce chronic pelvic pain, PTS, dysfunctional sexual behavior, treatment avoidance.
Read the detailed description
This project will develop and preliminarily examine RESPECT, a trauma-sensitive psychological and physical therapy intervention to treat chronic pelvic pain, posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTS), and dysfunctional sexual behavior among women with sexual abuse histories. Chronic pelvic pain disorders are highly prevalent in the U.S., affecting between 10-21% of premenopausal women at some time in their lives. Chronic pelvic pain is associated with dyspareunia, depression, anxiety, relationship distress, functional impairment and poor quality of life. History of sexual abuse is associated with development of chronic pelvic pain and with the severity of psychological distress and functional impairment among chronic pain patients.
Unfortunately, frontline chronic pelvic pain treatments such as physical therapy and pain-specific psychological interventions fail to address sexual trauma. Standard physical therapy may actually trigger trauma related symptoms because it involves invasive techniques including internal digital palpation of pelvic floor muscles and the use of vaginal dilators. Neglecting trauma in chronic pelvic pain treatment could contribute to poor treatment outcomes, low adherence, and drop out. RESPECT's trauma-sensitive psychological intervention will teach women skills to cope with PTS, pain, sexual dysfunction, and discomfort during physical therapy. RESPECT's trauma-sensitive physical therapy intervention will more sensitively apply the invasive aspects of treatment and reinforce women's use of trauma-related coping skills learned in the psychological intervention. RESPECT is predicted to decrease chronic pelvic pain, PTS, dysfunctional sexual behavior, treatment avoidance.
Study Aims
- Develop a multi-level trauma-sensitive (psychological and physical therapy) chronic pelvic pain intervention for inner-city women with histories of sexual abuse and PTS symptoms.
- Examine the feasibility of RESPECT in treating this population.
- Use a pilot open trial to examine the impact of RESPECT chronic pelvic pain, PTS, dysfunctional sexual behavior, treatment avoidance.
RESPECT's trauma-sensitive psychological intervention will 1) educate the patient about the relations between sexual abuse, PTS, and chronic pelvic pain 2) empower her by explaining that sexual abuse, chronic pelvic pain, and PTS are not her fault but she has the power to combat them 3) desensitize her to anxiety provoking components of the physical therapy intervention, and 4) teach her relaxation tools that she can use during physical therapy sessions, while practicing at-home physical therapy exercises, and to cope with pain more generally.
RESPECT's trauma-sensitive physical therapy intervention will 1) teach the patient techniques to address muscular tension that contributes to chronic pelvic pain 2) empower her by increasing her control over each phase of treatment (e.g., starting, stopping, expressing feelings and preferences) 3) comfort her by explaining that it is normal to experience discomfort during physical therapy treatment and 4) encourage her to use the trauma-related coping skills she learned in the psychotherapy component.
This initial project is intended to lead to a larger open trial that will examine not only treatment outcomes, but also the mechanisms of change (e.g., women's feeling of empowerment, decrease in PTS symptoms).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Chronic pelvic pain
Women will be asked to rate the severity of their pain during a variety of activities (e.g., pain at ovulation, pain while lifting) on a 10-point scale (0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain imaginable). Difference measured from pre to post intervention
Measured: 4 months
Posttraumatic stress (PTS) - The 20-item PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 will be used to assess symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert (scale with greater scores indicating more severe symptomatology
Difference from pre to post intervention
Measured: 4 months
Sexual History FOrm
The SHF will be used to assess participants' sexual history. The Female Sexual Function Index will assess participant's sexual feelings and responses. Women are asked 37 questions. Difference measured from pre to post intervention
Measured: 4 months
Treatment avoidance
Women's pelvic floor functioning will be assessed by collecting data from patient's medical records which is typically recorded as part of routine clinical practice. Difference measured from pre to post intervention
Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Trauma-sensitive Care in people with Pelvic Pain and Stress Disorders, Traumatic, run by Rush University Medical Center at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Chronic pelvic pain (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02588885, which also lists 24 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Dec 2021.
