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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Numerical Rating Scale | Baseline to two weeks | 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. |
| Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire | Baseline to two weeks | 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. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised | Baseline | Assesses visual and kinesthetic movement imagery abilities. Self-adminstered instrument comprised of 2 subscales: Visual Imagery (4 items) and Kinesthetic Imagery (4 items). Respondents assign a value from a 7-point scale, which indicates the ease or difficulty with which the movement was seen/felt. Higher scores indicate worse movement imagery abilities. |
