Selected men and women with muscle-related pelvic pain (sometimes called prostatitis in men) have been successfully treated by the Wise-Anderson Protocol (popularly called the Stanford Protocol for many years), a new treatment developed and researched at Stanford University in the Department of Urology. Its success has been published in the Journal of Urology (click here to see published research), presented at the American Urologic Association and the National Institutes of Health and in Drs. Wise and Anderson’s popular book, A Headache in the Pelvis.

The pioneering insight of the Wise-Anderson Protocol is that muscle-related pelvic pain is caused by chronic contraction or spasm of the muscles of the pelvic floor. This contraction is perpetuated by a self-feeding cycle of tension, anxiety, pain and protective guarding. Dr. Anderson, and Dr. Wise, the developers of the Wise-Anderson Protocol discuss this protocol in detail on this site.
