Effects of osteopathic manipulative therapy on recurrent pelvic pain and dyspareunia in women after surgery for endometriosis: a retrospective study.
Background: Surgical removal of deep infiltrating endometriosis is frequently associated with improvement in symptoms. However, because of the complex pathogenesis of pain in endometriosis that includes central sensitization and myofascial dysfunction, symptoms can persist after surgery. The aim of the present observational study is to explore the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in reducing persistent pelvic pain and dyspareunia in a sample of symptomatic women surgically treated for endometriosis.
Methods: Retrospective cohort analysis of 69 patients treated with OMT, for persistent myofascial pain, chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and dyspareunia after surgical eradication of endometriosis. Surgical, clinical and osteopathic reports were retrospectively analyzed in a chart review. Osteopathic interventions included myofascial release, balanced ligamentous/membranous tension and indirect fluidic technique.
Results: During the study period 345 patients underwent surgery for symptomatic endometriosis. Among them, 97 patients (28.1%) complained of post-operative persistent CPP and dyspareunia and 69 patients underwent osteopathic treatment. OMT reports showed a significant improvement of the symptoms after the first OMT session. Particularly, lower scores of CPP (mean NRS 4±4.2 vs. 0.2±0.7, P value.
Conclusions: OMT, breaking the cycle of pain and normalizing the musculoskeletal pelvic activity, could be a successful technique to treat persistent chronic pain in women surgically treated for endometriosis.
