Vulvar Functional Status Questionnaire (VQ) was used for the evaluation of patient's chronic pelvic pain and muscle hypertone improvements. The interstitial cystitis was assessed by the Leary-Sant symptom and problem indexes (ICSI and ICPI). In this study, the scores resulting from the sum of the two indexes were evaluated as OSS (ICSI + ICPI).
Women with chronic pelvic pain and muscle hypertone showed VQ mean values significantly lower than the controls ( < 0.005) from the second treatment up to the sixth one. In 6 patients affected by interstitial cystitis, the mean score of OSS was significantly lower than the controls ( < 0.005) from the second treatment up to 2 months follow-up after the last treatment session. No side effects were observed.
Based on these results, this technology may successfully manage muscle hypertonicity condition, the chronic pelvic pain, and interstitial cystitis.
采用外阴功能状态问卷（VQ）评估患者慢性盆腔疼痛和肌肉张力的改善情况。间质性膀胱炎通过利里-桑特症状和问题指数（ICSI和ICPI）进行评估。在本研究中，将两个指数之和所得分数评估为OSS（ICSI + ICPI）。
患有慢性盆腔疼痛和肌肉张力的女性从第二次治疗直至第六次治疗，其VQ平均值显著低于对照组（<0.005）。在6例间质性膀胱炎患者中，从第二次治疗直至最后一次治疗疗程后2个月随访期间OSS的平均分数显著低于对照组（<0.005）。未观察到副作用。
基于这些结果，该技术可能成功治疗肌肉高张力状态、慢性盆腔疼痛和间质性膀胱炎。
