NCT ID NCT07446556
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares a 6-month physiotherapy program focused on pelvic floor relaxation to no structured exercise in women with pudendal neuralgia, a chronic pelvic pain condition. Researchers will measure muscle stiffness using ultrasound and track symptoms like pain and sexual distress. The goal is to see if this gentle exercise approach can reduce discomfort and improve daily life.
