Official Title: To Investigate the Use of Trans-perineal Trigger Point Dry Needling With Manual Therapy and to Compare the Outcome With Manual Therapy Treatment for Chronic Pelvic Pain With Dysp

Brief Summary: Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP) are around 10% of gynaecology referrals.Non-relaxing pelvic floor dysfunction (NRPFD) is an under-appreciated cause for CPP with dyspareunia where no other pathology exists. The effectiveness of manual therapy in studies have shown statistically significant pre and post treatment differences.However no study has reviewed the efficacy of inclusion of trans- perineal trigger point dry needling used with manual therapy for NRPFD. This study will investigate the effectiveness of trans-perineal trigger point dry needling used with manual therapy techniques for CPP.
