pudendal neuralgia/neuralgia

Entrapment of the pudendal nerve may be at the origin of chronic perineal pain. This syndrome must be diagnosed because this can result in the indication of surgical decompression of the entrapped nerve for pain relief. Electroneuromyographic (ENMG) investigation is often performed in this context,

The objective of our study is to evaluate the detection capacity of Colour Duplex Scanning (CDS) in helping to diagnose Pudendal Neuralgia (PNa) by Pudendal Nerve Entrapment (PNE). This technique is being compared to complete Neurological Criteria (NC) based on Diagnostic Score (DS) and

Pudendal neuralgia is the clinical expression of a chronic compression of the pudendal nerve. The diagnosis is based on a set of five criteria, called Nantes criteria. Four of the criteria are clinical and the last requires evaluation of the anesthetic response to CT-guided infiltration of the

OBJECTIVE Pudendal neuralgia (PN) due to pudendal nerve entrapment is a well-known disease in medical community but both diagnostic and treatment may be delayed for patients. The goal of this study was to achieve a systematic review of the published treatments of PN in order to help physician to

BACKGROUND The objective was to describe clinical findings and outcomes of patients with pudendal neuralgia in relation with the anatomical segment affected. METHODS Fifty-one consecutive patients with chronic perineal pain (CPP) located in the areas supplied by the pudendal nerve (PN), from January

OBJECTIVE The authors sought to evaluate indications, technical feasibility and clinical efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided pudendal nerve infiltration in patients with chronic anoperineal pain by reviewing the role of the CT technique in their personal experience and in the recent

In addition to the well-established syndrome of pudendal compression, and given the rich nerve trunk innervation of the perineum, pain originating in other nerve trunks can occur and must be remembered. Nerves originating high in the thoracolumbar area (ilioinguinal nerve, iliohypogastric nerve,

OBJECTIVE Pudendal neuralgia can cause significant voiding and pain symptoms. We explored the effects of chronic pudendal neuromodulation (CPN) and nerve blocks on pain associated with pudendal neuralgia. METHODS Patients with pudendal neuralgia and tined lead placed at the pudendal nerve were

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation of the pudendal nerve for the treatment of refractory pudendal neuralgia. METHODS Eleven patients were selected to undergo percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation of the pudendal nerve based on established diagnostic

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate that the deep infiltration of the pudendal nerve guided by tomography is a good treatment option for patients with refractory neuralgia. METHODS Two cases of pudendal neuralgia are presented, both expressed mainly with pain in the perineal and gluteal areas. Both cases had

OBJECTIVE To examine the evolution of pain and the duration of numbness after neural blockade of the pudendal nerve in women with pudendal neuralgia and correlate with clinical and historical data. METHODS Prospective, single arm, open label study. METHODS University hospital and outpatient

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of CT guided dual site infiltration in patients with pudendal neuralgia and determine prognostic factors of efficacy. Materials and methods. Retrospective review of 49 patients with suspected pudendal neuralgia who underwent one or multiple injections of local
