UPDATE ON PELVIC FLOOR DYSFUNCTION

Author and Disclosure Information

 

References

Sacral neuromodulation is not FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic pelvic pain; further studies are needed before it can be recommended for this indication.

WHAT THIS EVIDENCE MEANS FOR PRACTICE

Neither of these studies required objective evidence of myofascial pain for inclusion. Therefore, although the benefits they demonstrated may be theorized to extend to the relief of myofascial pain, this fact cannot be corroborated.
