Abstract
Chronic pelvic pain is an increasingly important, multifactorial condition requiring a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment. Terminology often varies across specialty, and practice guidance for the majority of etiologies of pelvic pain remains nebulous. Randomized controlled trials are emerging. A summary of treatments that are evidence-based, emerging, accepted, and disproven by etiology is provided in tabular form at the end of the chapter.
