Actual (reported)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).

Actual (reported)Pelvic floor muscle stiffness by shear-wave elastography (SWE)
Pelvic floor muscle stiffness (kPa) measured by shear-wave elastography in superficial pelvic floor muscles (bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernosus, and superficial transverse perineal muscles). Measurements were obtained using a 2 mm circular ROI with real-time quality control (RLB \> 90%, M-STB 4-5 stars). Shell analysis was used to identify sites of minimum and maximum stiffness within each muscle.

Pain/discomfort intensity by visual analog scale (VAS)
Baseline and 6 months (post-intervention)
Participants received a 6-month physiotherapy intervention consisting of 6 individual sessions with a physiotherapist and daily home exercise (30 minutes/day).
Participants did not receive the structured physiotherapy exercise program.
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.
