About

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.
