Personalized Exercise Recommendations for Chronic Pelvic Pain Using Reinforcement Learning

WorkoutCPP is a pilot study evaluating the feasibility of a personalized exercise recommendation system for individuals with chronic pelvic pain disorders (CPPDs). The study uses reinforcement learning (RL), a type of artificial intelligence that adapts recommendations over time based on each participant's reported pain levels, symptom burden, and exercise compliance. Participants receive daily exercise recommendations that alternate between standard, non-personalized guidance and personalized, RL-generated recommendations across four 2-week phases, allowing within-person comparison of outcomes under each condition. The primary hypothesis is that an RL-based adaptive recommendation system is feasible to deliver in a CPPD population.
