Abstract
Preview What do complaints of sleeplessness, depression, childhood sexual abuse, and dysfunctional family and marital relationships have to do with chronic pelvic pain? Maybe a lot, according to the authors' findings in studies of patients at a clinic for chronic pain. The authors describe diagnostic clues to watch for during history taking, an approach to differential diagnosis (including use of the “torso score”), and therapeutic options.Keywords
