Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the response of Explicit Motor Imagery interventions in patients suffering Persistent Pelvic Pain. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the modality of application of Explicit Motor Imagery, either through visual or auditory stimuli, influence the response in patients suffering Persistent Pelvic Pain? Participants will receive an online Explicit Motor Imagery program either through visual inputs or auditory inputs. They will be instructed to follow the program en register their response. Researchers will compare visual Explicit Motor Imagery and auditory Explicit Motor Imagery to see if different inputs generate different responses in patients suffering Persistent Pelvic Pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Numerical Rating Scale

  Self-administered scale that requires the patient to rate their pain intensity on a 0-10 scale, where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable. Higher scores indicate worse outcomes.

  Baseline to two weeks

• Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire

  Self-administered questionnaire to measure attention to pain. 16- item questionnaire, where each item is scored as a six- point Likert scale that ranges from zero (never) to five (always), resulting in a sum score between zero and 80. Higher scores indicate worse outcomes.

  Baseline to two weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised

  Baseline

Study Arms (2)

Visual Explicit Motor Imagery

EXPERIMENTAL

6 exercises of Explicit Motor Imagery, administered on alternate days, using visual inputs in the form of images.

Other: Visual

Auditory Explicit Motor Imagery

EXPERIMENTAL

6 exercises of Explicit Motor Imagery, administered on alternate days, using auditory inputs in the form of audio recordings.

Other: Auditory

Interventions

Visual OTHER

Delivery of images to conduct several exercises of Explicit Motor Imagery
