Role of nerve block as a diagnostic tool in pudendal nerve entrapment

Pudendal nerve entrapment is a disabling condition which is difficult to diagnose and treat. Nantes criteria include the requirement of positive anaesthetic pudendal nerve block that is widely used to allow identification of patients likely to benefit from the definitive but invasive pudendal nerve release. This study aimed to determine if pudendal nerve blockade under general anaesthesia could diagnose and temporarily treat pudendal nerve entrapment in patients suffering from chronic pelvic/perineal pain and/or organ dysfunction.
