Summary

This randomized controlled trial compares a 6-month physiotherapy exercise program versus no structured exercise intervention in women with pudendal neuralgia. Outcomes include pelvic floor muscle stiffness measured by shear-wave elastography (SWE), pelvic floor symptom burden (PFIQ-7), sexual distress (FSDS-R), and pain/discomfort scores (VAS).

Conditions

• Pudendal Neuralgia- Physiotherapy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Pelvic Floor Relaxation Protocol	A structured 6-month physiotherapy program was implemented, focusing on pelvic floor muscle relaxation, postural correction, and functional movement patterns.The program included 6 individual sessions with a physiotherapist and mandatory daily home exercise (30 minutes/day). Adherence was recorded in participant diaries.
