Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous tibial nerve electrical stimulation in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
Methods:The clinical data of 28 patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome from January to November 2018 in Dalian Third People′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were treated with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation. The number of urination in 24 h, number of nocturnal urination, urine volume per urination, quality of life (QOL) score and digital pain intensity score before treatment and after treatment were compared; the patients were followed up for 3 months, and the recurrence and adverse reaction were observed.
Results:Compared with those before treatment, the number of urination in 24 h and number of nocturnal urination after treatment were significantly lower: (11.6 ± 6.4) times vs. (20.6 ± 7.8) times and (2.5 ± 1.2) times vs. (5.2 ± 2.6) times, and the urine volume per urination increased significantly: (181.2 ± 65.6) ml vs. (125.4 ± 58.2) ml, the QOL score and digital pain intensity score decreased significantly: (2.6 ± 1.4) scores vs. (5.1 ± 0.8) scores and (2.9 ± 1.3) scores vs. (6.9 ± 1.4) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). During the follow-up period, none of the patients had recurrent symptoms and obvious adverse reaction.
Conclusions:Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation is an effective way to treat chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
