Conditions
Summary
Patients with pudendal neuralgia suffer from long-term pain, which severely affects their quality of life. Due to unclear etiology, there is a lack of specific treatment methods. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of combined pulsed radiofrequency with ganglion impar block therapy helps evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment method for pudendal neuralgia, comparing it with traditional treatments or single interventions, and providing guidance for clinical practice.
