简要总结
Fifty two male participants, 30-50 years old, suffering from chronic pudendal neuralgia were randomly assigned either into experimental group (26 patients) received TENS plus the traditional physical therapy program( including range of motion exercise, stretching exercise of obturator internus muscle, clam shell exercise, relaxation exercise and underwater exercise) 3 sessions per week for 8 successive weeks, or control group (26 patients) received only the traditional physical therapy exercise for the same period of time. Intensity of pain by Verbal rating scale (VRS) as well as Serum cortisol level (SCL)and Etodolac level intake are measured pre and post treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity (NRS)
时间窗: 8 weeks of treatment
Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain is a one-dimensional measure of pain intensity in adults, including those with chronic pain .It is an instrument tool to measure the intensity of pain, Numerical pain rating scale consists an 11-point numeric scale with 0 representing "no pain" and 10 representing extreme pain (Worst possible pain)
次要结局
- Serum cortisol level(8 weeks of treatment)
- Calculation of Etodolac Intake (ELI) in mg(8 weeks of treatment)
