pudendal neuralgia/慢性疼痛

OBJECTIVE To establish the prognostic factors and outcomes of patients with pudendal neuralgia (PN). METHODS A total of 51 patients with PN treated at the Puerta de Hierro University Hospital of Madrid between January 2011 and June 2012 were included in this study. Patients were compared in relation

OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous pulse-dose radiofrequency (PDRF) for the treatment of chronic pain in patients with pudendal neuralgia (PN) unresponsive to conservative approaches. METHODS From March 2010 to January

Pudendal neuralgia is characterized by chronic pain or discomfort in the area innervated by the pudendal nerve, with no obvious cause. A successful pudendal nerve block is crucial for the diagnosis of pudendal neuralgia. Blind or fluoroscopy-guided pudendal nerve blocks have been conventionally used

OBJECTIVE Persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) has been identified as a condition of often unprovoked genital arousal associated with a significant level of distress. PGAD is not well understood, and no definitive cause has been determined. The aim of this study was to gain a better
