Osteopathy for Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain - a Pilot Study.

Abstract:

:Introduction: Pelvic pain is a common problem in gynaecological practice. It is often unclear whether definite causality exists between reported symptoms and objective clinical findings of the female genital tract, and medical or operative treatments do not always achieve long-term resolution of symptoms. Methods: This pilot study investigated 28 patients (age 20-65, median 36.5 years) from a gynaecology practice whose only clinical finding was painful pelvic floor muscle tightness. Following standardised gynaecological and physiotherapist examination, all patients received osteopathic treatment. Pain had been present for a median of 3 years (range 1 month to 20 years). 14 patients had previously confirmed endometriosis. Treatment success was evaluated on consultation with patients in person or in writing. Results: 22 of the 28 participants completed the treatment according to plan. Overall, 17 reported symptom improvement, while 10 of the 14 patients with endometriosis did. Conclusion: Osteopathy is well received by women with painful pelvic floor muscle tightness and appears to be an effective treatment option. :Einleitung: Unterbauchschmerzen sind ein häufiges Problem in der gynäkologischen Praxis. Der Kausalzusammenhang zwischen objektivem Befund am inneren Genitale und den geklagten Beschwerden ist oft nicht eindeutig und nicht immer führen medikamentöse oder operative Therapien zu einer dauerhaften Beschwerdefreiheit. Methodik: Im Rahmen einer Pilotstudie wurden 28 Patientinnen (Alter 20–65, Median 36,5 Jahre) einer gynäkologischen Praxis untersucht. Als einziger klinisch auffälliger Befund fanden sich schmerzhafte Verspannungen des muskulären Beckenbodens. Nach einer standardisierten gynäkologischen und physiotherapeutischen Untersuchung wurden diese Patientinnen osteopathisch behandelt. Die Schmerzen bestanden seit 3 Jahren (Median, Bereich 1 Monat bis 20 Jahre). Bei 14 Patientinnen war in der Vorgeschichte eine Endometriose gesichert worden. Der Behandlungserfolg wurde durch Befragung evaluiert. Ergebnisse: 22 von 28 Patientinnen schlossen die Therapie planmäßig ab. 17 Patientinnen gaben an, die Beschwerden hätten sich durch die Behandlung gebessert. Bei den Patientinnen mit Endometriose gaben 10 von 14 eine Besserung an. Schlussfolgerung: Osteopathie wird von Frauen mit muskulären Verspannungen des Beckenbodens gut angenommen und scheint eine wirksame Therapie darzustellen.
