What they do

Problem

Women with chronic pelvic pain lack effective treatments that address the root cause and often rely on costly, long-term pain management including opioids.

Who it's for

Clinicians treating women with chronic pelvic pain and the patients themselves who need non-opioid, root-cause therapy.
