About

Superficial dyspareunia represents a major health problem especially for the newly wed couples. Pulsed radiofrequency for pudendal nerve is a non-neurolytic neuromodulatory method that is effective in relief of this type of pain. Objectives: to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral pudendal nerve fluoroscopic guided pulsed radiofrequency in treatment of intractable non-organic dyspareunia, and compare between trans-gluteal and transvaginal approaches regarding patient comfort and satisfaction.
