Brief summary (from the registry)

Primary Aim To determine if the addition of empowered relief therapy to standard treatment is superior to standard treatment alone in patients with chronic pelvic pain as measured by pain interference in patients with chronic pelvic pain. The investigators hypothesize that patients will show improved pain interference at two-weeks post-baseline. In addition, the investigators hypothesize that patients receiving ER (Empowered Relief) will show a better trajectory of pain interference over time, relative to the control group. Secondary Aims 1. To compare pain intensity scores (as measured by NRS-The Numerical Rating Scale pain) with the addition of empowered relief therapy to standard treatment in patients with chronic pelvic pain. a. The investigators hypothesize that patients with the addition of ER to standard treatment will show greater improvement in pain intensity scores. 2. To compare health related quality of life scores with the addition of empowered relief therapy to standard treatment in patients with chronic pelvic pain. 1. The investigators hypothesize that patients with addition of ER to standard treatment will show greater improvement in quality of life (QOL).
