This course provides learners with tools to complete a comprehensive assessment of gynecologic and myofascial sources of chronic pelvic pain and how to perform procedural treatments of identified pain generators to improve understanding of complex musculoskeletal anatomy. Abdominal and pelvic floor myofascial injections will be demonstrated, along with image-guided nerve blocks. We will discuss how to optimize medical and adjuvant procedural therapies for patients with chronic pelvic pain refractory to gynecologic surgery.

Learning Objectives: After attending this session, the participant will be able to: 1) Describe prevalent sources of chronic pelvic pain, including gynecologic, myofascial, and nervous system etiologies; 2) Complete a comprehensive pelvic pain history and physical exam, and correlate findings with specific pain sources; and 3) Apply procedural and medication treatments for clinical indications.
