Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluates the response to a motor imagery intervention using visual or auditory inputs in patients with persistent pelvic pain. A secondary objective is to assess how patients' mental visualization capacity influences intervention outcomes. Methods: Forty patients diagnosed with persistent pelvic pain were enrolled in a randomized trial with six motor imagery sessions over 2 weeks. Patients were assigned to interventions delivered through images or audio recordings. Pain intensity, attention to pain, and the ability to mentally visualize and perceive movements were assessed. Results: Participants receiving auditory stimulus-based interventions showed a nonsignificant reduction in pain intensity (from 7.1 points [SD: 1.9] to 6.1 points [SD: 2.4]; p=0.091), while those in the visual input group experienced no change. Attention to pain improved in the visual group (from 30.2 points [SD: 6.2] to 27.6 points [SD: 6.8]; p=0.194), whereas it remained stable in the auditory group. Importantly, the participants' ability to mentally visualize and perceive movements did not significantly impact the outcomes. Conclusions: Auditory motor imagery appears to be a promising, less intrusive approach for managing persistent pelvic pain, with home-based interventions showing potential where access to conventional care is limited. This study highlights the importance of personalized motor imagery approaches, demonstrating superior efficacy for auditory interventions compared to visual ones. Limitations include a brief intervention period and recruitment challenges, yet motor imagery remains a viable therapeutic option. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT06343649.

持续性骨盆疼痛患者通过听觉或视觉输入对运动意象的反应-一项随机试验。
目的:本研究评估使用视觉或听觉输入的运动意象干预对持续性骨盆疼痛患者的反应。第二个目的是评估患者的心理可视化能力如何影响干预结果。方法:40名诊断为持续性盆腔疼痛的患者参加了一项随机试验,在2周内进行了6次运动意象训练。患者被分配到通过图像或录音进行干预。评估疼痛强度、对疼痛的注意力以及在精神上想象和感知运动的能力。结果:接受听觉刺激干预的参与者疼痛强度无显著降低(从7.1分[SD: 1.9]降至6.1分[SD: 2.4];P =0.091),而视觉输入组没有变化。视觉组对疼痛的注意程度由30.2分[SD: 6.2]提高到27.6分[SD: 6.8];P =0.194),而听觉组则保持稳定。重要的是,参与者在心理上想象和感知运动的能力并没有显著影响结果。结论:听觉运动成像似乎是一种有希望的,较少侵入性的方法来治疗持续性骨盆疼痛,在常规护理有限的情况下,以家庭为基础的干预显示出潜力。本研究强调了个性化运动意象方法的重要性,证明了听觉干预比视觉干预更有效。局限性包括短暂的干预期和招募挑战,但运动意象仍然是一种可行的治疗选择。试验注册:ClinicalTrials.gov标识符:NCT06343649。
