Musculoskeletal and Pelvic Floor Health in Female Chronic Overlapping Pelvic Pain Conditions

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn about nerve function and pelvic muscle function. To do this we will compare the pelvic nerve and muscle function of women with chronic pelvic pain to those who do not have chronic pelvic pain. Understanding the pain may lead to better treatments in the future.
