In light of the rising prevalence of sedentary behaviour worldwide, its impact on health has become a subject of growing interest. To clarify whether there is a significant correlation between sedentary behaviour and chronic pelvic pain in women and to explore its potential clinical implications, this study aims to provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between the two. The findings of this study will inform the development of effective prevention and intervention strategies.
This study will conduct an exhaustive search across electronic databases, encompassing PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Scopus, for records published up until 26 June 2024. Two independent researchers will conduct the study selection, data extraction and assessment of bias risks, with any discrepancies resolved through the collaboration of a third reviewer. To accurately discern the underlying sources of heterogeneity, sensitivity, subgroup analyses and meta-regression will be conducted in parallel. Additionally, to ensure the rigour and integrity of our research, Begg's and Egger's tests will serve as the primary means of evaluating the potential for publication bias within the studies under consideration.
Ethical approval will not be required for this study, as it will use publicly accessible, non-identifiable data from the published literature. The research team will ensure data privacy and participant confidentiality through anonymised data processing and strict compliance with relevant regulations. The results of this study will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

鉴于全球久坐行为的患病率不断上升，其对健康的影响已成为一个日益受到关注的主题。为了阐明久坐行为与女性慢性盆腔疼痛之间是否存在显著相关性，并探讨其潜在的临床意义，本研究旨在对两者之间的关联进行系统综述和荟萃分析。本研究的结果将为制定有效的预防和干预策略提供依据。
本研究将对电子数据库进行全面检索，包括PubMed、Embase、Web of Science、Cochrane对照试验中央注册库和Scopus，检索截至2024年6月26日发表的记录。两名独立研究人员将进行研究筛选、数据提取和偏倚风险评估，如有分歧将通过第三名评审员的协作解决。为了准确识别异质性的潜在来源，将同时进行敏感性分析、亚组分析和元回归分析。此外，为确保我们研究的严谨性和完整性，Begg检验和Egger检验将作为评估所考虑研究中潜在发表偏倚的主要手段。
本研究无需伦理批准，因为它将使用已发表文献中公开可用的、无法识别身份的数据。研究团队将通过匿名数据处理和严格遵守相关规定来确保数据隐私和参与者的保密性。本研究的结果将通过在同行评审期刊上发表进行传播。
