Overview

Scoping review maps sensory and motor alterations in women with chronic pelvic pain, suggesting gaps in evidence and methodology.

Key Points

  • This review aims to synthesize evidence of sensory, motor, and body perception alterations in women with chronic pelvic pain.
  • Conducted a scoping review of 175 studies involving 19,457 participants exploring sensory and motor functions and body perception disturbances.
  • Searched multiple databases for studies of any design relevant to chronic pelvic pain and sensory-motor alterations up to April 2025.
  • Analyzed findings from quantitative sensory testing and qualitative assessments regarding body perception.
  • Consistent findings of reduced pain thresholds in pelvic sensory tests among women with chronic pelvic pain.
  • Evidence suggested widespread hypersensitivity and altered pain modulation, indicating potential central nervous system involvement.
  • Motor testing results were limited and inconsistent, with studies varying significantly in their methodologies.
