Exercise Program in Women With Pudendal Neuralgia
Sponsor: Comenius University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial compares a 6-month physiotherapy exercise program versus no structured exercise intervention in women with pudendal neuralgia. Outcomes include pelvic floor muscle stiffness measured by shear-wave elastography (SWE), pelvic floor symptom burden (PFIQ-7), sexual distress (FSDS-R), and pain/discomfort scores (VAS).
