Abstract:
A system for determining a treatment regimen for chronic pelvic pain (CPP) includes an electromyography (EMG) probe including electrodes. Each electrode detects pelvic floor muscle activity. An EMG sensor array includes bipolar EMG sensors configured to detect muscle activity of muscles associated with or supporting the pelvic floor muscles. An EMG amplifier is in communication with the EMG probe or the EMG sensor array. The EMG amplifier includes a plurality of input channels. Each input channel receives data of muscle activity in the pelvic floor muscles or the muscles associated with or supporting the pelvic floor muscles from the EMG probe or the EMG sensor array. A processor of a computer performs muscle network analysis using the data of muscle activity in the pelvic floor muscles or the muscles associated with or supporting the pelvic floor muscles. A treatment regimen for CPP is recommended based on the muscle network analysis.
