Conventional Versus High-Voltage Long-Duration Pulsed Radiofrequency of the Pudendal Nerve

This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial evaluating two types of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment for patients with pudendal neuralgia. Pudendal neuralgia is a chronic neuropathic pain affecting the perineum and pelvic area, often causing significant discomfort and reduced quality of life. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either conventional PRF or high-voltage long-duration PRF applied to the pudendal nerve. The study aims to compare the clinical effectiveness, pain relief, and safety of the two treatment approaches. Participants will be monitored for pain improvement, functional outcomes, and any treatment-related side effects. The study follows standard clinical procedures and all treatments are performed under sterile conditions with proper monitoring to ensure patient safety.
