Official title
Addition of Pudendal Blocks to Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy for the Treatment of Pelvic Floor Tension Myalgia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Pelvic floor tension myalgia (PFTM) is increasingly noted in patients with chronic pelvic pain. Pelvic floor physical therapy is typically utilized and is at times combined with other therapies such as botox injections, trigger point injections or pudendal blocks. The investigators' study will randomize newly diagnosed patients with PFTM to weekly . Final patient assessment will be performed at 6 months to assess durability of response. Primary hypothesis: The addition of pudendal blocks to standard pelvic floor physical therapy will result in lower pain and pelvic floor muscle tension scores, lower baseline vaginal pressure and increase pelvic floor strength. Secondary hypothesis: The addition of pudendal blocks to standard pelvic floor physical therapy will result in a lower pain score in a shorter time frame, resulting in faster progress through physical therapy.
