The authors aimed to develop a method for integrating patient perspectives into treatment choices for female chronic pelvic pain (FCPP) by utilizing Q-methodology. Through stakeholder input and patient advisory group collaboration, they identified five distinct patient preference profiles that can guide treatment counseling and improve patient engagement with FCPP therapies. This study provides a framework for measuring and applying patient viewpoints in clinical decision-making for FCPP.
