TL;DR: Overall, the SSS-8 performed well as a short version of the PHQ-15 which makes it preferable for assessment in time restricted settings and the comparability of severity classifications needs further evaluation in other populations.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a clinically relevant psychosocial symptom burden in patients with CPPS, indicating the need for the examination of psychopathologies and multi-professional treatment for this patient group.

TL;DR: The evidence currently available is sparse with methodological flaws, making it difficult to recommend a specific physiotherapy option for patients with CPP, and there is an urgent need for high-quality randomized controlled trials to identify the most effective physiotherapy management strategy.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that both CBT and ENCERT can achieve strong effects on primary and secondary outcomes in MUS patients, and indicate that adding a training in emotion regulation skills generally improves the effect of CBT across all patients with MUS.

TL;DR: Present results emphasize the importance of psychosocial factors, in particular of depression, in CPPS symptom severity and both physical and mental QoL and give support to an integrated treatment concept encompassing both psychological support and somatic aspects of the disease.
