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.
