Summary

This project will develop and preliminarily examine RESPECT, a trauma-sensitive psychological and physical therapy intervention to treat chronic pelvic pain, posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTS), and dysfunctional sexual behavior among women with sexual abuse histories. Patients will be recruited after being referred to pelvic floor physical therapy for treatment of chronic pelvic pain. Participants will complete seven sessions of individual cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. Physical therapy will be provided by clinicians who have been trained in trauma-sensitive treatment techniques. Treatment acceptability and outcomes will be assessed at baseline, mid intervention, post-intervention and follow-up via self-report measures. The RESPECT protocol is expected to be feasible to implement among sexual abuse survivors and to be well liked by patients. RESPECT is expected to reduce chronic pelvic pain, PTS, dysfunctional sexual behavior, treatment avoidance.
