BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE  Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) refers to both residue of acute and sub-acute recurrence of a previous infection or/and as a result of late detection of and intervention for upper tract pelvic infection. Owing to the chronic nature of the disease, which may require large doses of analgesics and/or antibiotics both of which may have side effects on the body, there is a need for a non-invasive therapeutic and symptomatic chronic pain management. The main purpose…

Physiotherapy is A New Line in Management of Chronic Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases
TLDR
Shortwave diathermy has a fair therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of chronic PID and there was a statistically highly significant improvement of clinical and laboratory manifestations.
Combined (physical and medical treatment) therapy versus physical treatment alone and medical treatment alone in the management of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease
TLDR
The greatest therapeutic efficacy can be obtained from combined physical and medical treatment compared with each line alone in the treatment of chronic PID.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of rehabilitation treatment in patients with chronic pelvic pain: a systematic review
TLDR
The small number of studies and the critical internal methodological issues identified, make it impossible to reach definitive conclusions, and new RCTs are therefore needed to validate the effectiveness of rehabilitation treatment in patients.
Physiotherapy interventions for patients with chronic pelvic pain: A systematic review of the literature
TLDR
Although physiotherapy interventions show some beneficial effects, evidence cannot support the results and heterogeneity in terms of population phenotype, methodological quality, interpretation of results, and operational definition result in little overall evidence to guide treatment.
Effectiveness of Honghua Ruyi Wan combined with antibiotics for relief of pelvic inflammatory disease pain in women
TLDR
The combination of HHRYW and antibiotics effectively relieve abdominal pain caused by PID with obvious long-term efficacy and acceptable adverse reactions.
Ultra-short-wave diathermy shortens the course of moderate and severe COVID-19: a randomized controlled trial
TLDR
Among the 50 moderate and severe COVID-19 patients, the USWD as an adjunctive therapy to standard therapy could shorten the recovery course and enhance clinical improvement without aggravating pulmonary fibrosis.
Effects of “Danzhi Decoction” on Chronic Pelvic Pain, Hemodynamics, and Proinflammatory Factors in the Murine Model of Sequelae of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
TLDR
DZD was effective in relieving CPP and improving hemodynamics of the pelvic blood-stasis microenvironment in SPID mice and might play a positive role in the anti-inflammatory process.
Radiofrequency-based treatment in therapy-related clinical practice – a narrative review. Part II: chronic conditions
TLDR
Evidence favouring and against RF-based EPAs is available, and there is moderate evidence favouring the use of SWT (mainly PSWT) in knee osteoarthritis and some evidence also exists for CSWT in chronic low back pain and PSWT for treating chronic wounds.
Radiofrequency-based treatment in therapy-related clinical practice – a narrative review. Part I: acute conditions
TLDR
There is reasonable evidence in support of PSWT to alleviate postoperative pain and promote postoperative wound healing and a general lack of research emphasis in the non-shortwave RF band is evident, with studies on acute conditions almost non-existent.
Efficacy of Physical Therapy in the Management of Reproductive Disorders
Several textbooks and anecdotal reports exist on the management of reproductive disorders by physical therapy (PHT). However, the recommendations from these sources are often not supported by recent…

SHORTWAVE DIATHERMY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE PAIN: CASE REPORTS
TLDR
It was concluded that SWD is effective in the symptomatic management of chronic pain in PID.
Management of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease with shortwave diathermy. A case report.
TLDR
The results of this case study suggest that SWD may be effective in the management of pelvic infections that are unresponsive to chemotherapy, however, further studies are needed before conclusive statements can be made on the relative efficacy of SWD.
Effects of repetitive shortwave diathermy for reducing synovitis in patients with knee osteoarthritis: an ultrasonographic study.
TLDR
The results indicate that SW diathermy in patients with knee osteoarthritis can significantly reduce both synovial thickness and knee pain.
Microwave diathermy treatment for primary dysmenorrhea.
TLDR
Microwave diathermy (45 W total power) was administered for 20 minutes each month on the day symptoms began (usually the first day of menstruation) and was followed by almost-immediate and long-lasting relief of symptoms.
Epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease
TLDR
Several promising short-duration and monotherapy antibiotic regimens should be evaluated in pelvic inflammatory disease treatment trials for compliance, microbiological and clinical cure, and reduction of subsequent adverse reproductive and gynecological morbidity.
[Observation on treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory with point injection combined with ultra-laser radiation].
TLDR
Point injection combined with ultra-laser radiation has definite therapeutic effect on chronic pelvic inflammatory.
Extracts from “Clinical Evidence”: Pelvic inflammatory disease

TLDR
PID is the most common gynaecological reason for admission to hospital in the United States, accounting for 49 per 10 000 recorded hospital discharges, however, this figure almost certainly underestimates true prevalence.
Pelvic inflammatory disease in adolescents
TLDR
Pelvic inflammatory disease is a highly preventable source of reproductive morbidity for adolescents and it is prudent that clinicians provide counseling regarding healthy sexual behaviors, STD prevention, and contraception whenever an adolescent presents in need of STD screening or evaluation for pelvic inflammatory disease.
Mechanical sensation and pain thresholds in patients with chronic arthropathies.
Quality of Life Utilities for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Health States
TLDR
PID has substantial impact on utility, and some PID-related health states are valued less by women who have experienced PID, which could affect cost-effectiveness analyses of PID treatments when examined from the societal versus patient perspective.
