Abstract
Materials and Methods
Vulvar Functional Status Questionnaire (VQ) was used for the evaluation of patient's chronic pelvic pain and muscle hypertone improvements. The interstitial cystitis was assessed by the Leary-Sant symptom and problem indexes (ICSI and ICPI). In this study, the scores resulting from the sum of the two indexes were evaluated as OSS (ICSI + ICPI).
Results
Women with chronic pelvic pain and muscle hypertone showed VQ mean values significantly lower than the controls (p < 0.005) from the second treatment up to the sixth one. In 6 patients affected by interstitial cystitis, the mean score of OSS was significantly lower than the controls (p < 0.005) from the second treatment up to 2 months follow-up after the last treatment session. No side effects were observed.
Conclusion
Based on these results, this technology may successfully manage muscle hypertonicity condition, the chronic pelvic pain, and interstitial cystitis.
