Pulsed Radiofrequency Neuromodulation

Post by KC17 »

I stumbled across this in my research. Has anybody had this procedure, or discussed it with their doctor? Sounds interesting... :geek:

Pain started suddenly April 2010.
3T MRI w/ Dr. Potter, January 2011 shows bilateral impingement of the dorsal nerve of the clitoris.

Unsure what to do next because my pelvis is a mess.

Hi Krista,

I don't know if you saw this already but Jennyp on the welcome forum has had some success with PRF and I believe Robyn was looking into having this done as well. I think the issue is finding someone who has experience with PRF and the pudendal nerve since, apparently, some pretty intense pain can be caused if this is done by someone who doesn't have experience utilizing this on the PN.

A couple of days ago, I came across an article on this type of treatment also. Does anyone know a practitioner who does this treatment? It sounds great!
