Brief Summary: The presence of trigger points in the pelvic floor musculature PFM is a frequent condition in individuals with chronic pelvic pain CPP and is associated with higher levels of pain disability and functional decline The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of two interventions pelvic floor muscle PFM training with biofeedback and PFM training with the addition of trigger point dry needling applied overLumbar square psoas external obliques gluteus medius piriformis and adductors on pain and quality of life of women with CPP
Detailed Description: Chronic pelvic pain CPP is characterized as non-cyclic pain located in the distal region of the abdomen and pelvis often refractory to conventional treatments lasting more than six months The presence of trigger points in the pelvic floor muscles PFM is a frequent condition in individuals with CPP and is associated with higher levels of pain disability and functional decline Secondary dysfunctions associated with the clinical picture of chronic pelvic pain can be treated with muscle training through the use of biofeedback and dry needling The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of two interventions pelvic floor muscle PFM training with biofeedback and PFM training with the addition of trigger point dry needling applied overLumbar square psoas external obliques gluteus medius piriformis and adductors on pain and quality of life of women with CPP

We will recruit 44 women aged 18 to 60 years with CPP lasting for a minimum of six months We will exclude women with urinary incontinence neurological conditions malignancy fractures pregnancy and those that did not agree to receive treatment with needles will be excluded

Individuals will be randomized into two groups PFM training with biofeedback and Dry Needling Group and PFM training with biofeedback Participants will receive a total of 4 sessions twice a weekfor two weeks This investigations primary outcome will be pain NRS Immediately after the 4 visits Quality of life global impression of recovery and sexual function evaluated at Immediately after the 4 visits will be secondary outcomes
