- W3194802408 abstract "Vulvodynia is a common chronic gynecological disease that affects approximately 16% of women, although it is rarely diagnosed. However, no known effective treatment exists. The etiology of vulvodynia is unknown and may be heterogeneous and multifactorial, so it is difficult-if not impossible-to improve this condition using 1 treatment method. Reports have shown that vulvodynia has an element of neuropathic pain. Although the role of the sympathetic nervous system in neuropathic pain is controversial, sympathetic nerve blocks have long been used to treat patients with chronic pain giving good results. A ganglion impar block (GIB), a sympathetic nerve block technique, may effectively manage pain and discomfort in patients with vulvodynia.Four patients suffering from chronic vulvar pain for 6 months-10 years were referred by gynecologists. The gynecologists could not identify the cause of the chronic vulvar pain, and symptoms were not improving by conservative therapy with medication. Patients complained of various chronic vulvar pain or discomfort. The initial visual analog scale (VAS) scores were 8 or 9 out of 10, and Leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and signs pain scale score was more than 12 out of 24. The review of gynecological medical records confirmed whether they showed allodynia during the cotton swab test and hyperalgesia to pin-prick test.All patients were diagnosed with vulvodynia.All patients were treated with a GIB, once in 2 patients, 3 times in 1 patient, and 4 times (1 alcoholic neurolysis) in the other patient, under fluoroscopic guidance.After the procedures, the VAS score and the leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and signs (LANSS) pain scale score were decreased to less than 2 and 5, respectively, in all patients. Follow-up observations for 6 months-2 years revealed that 2 patients' symptoms entirely or nearly entirely improved and did not require further treatment. The pain of the remaining patients were well controlled with medications only.GIB is a good treatment option for patients suffering from chronic pain and discomfort caused by vulvodynia." @default.
