The increased hypertonicity or activity of pelvic floor muscles can lead to chronic pelvic pain (CPP). It represents an aspecific and persistent pain with no apparent clinical reason, affecting an estimated 6% to 16% of women worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate with validated questionnaires the efficacy and the safeness of a new device that uses Top flat Magnetic Stimulation for the management of muscular hypertonia in women with CCP.
All patients underwent 8 treatments with a non-invasive electromagnetic therapeutic device. The device produces a TOP Flat Magnetic Stimulation with a uniform profile so, the muscle work aims to reduce pain while also inhibiting muscle activity. The PISQ-12 questionnaire was used for the evaluation of improvements. Side effects were monitored.
The PISQ-12 total mean score decreases from 29,2 (±3.3) to 17 (±2). Regarding the behavioural-emotive items (1-4), a decrease from 12 (±2) to 7 (±0.9) was visible. Physical items (5-9) decrease from 10,6 (±1.8) to 6 (±1.4) and the Partner Related items (10-12) from 6,6 (±1.6) to 3,9 (±0.4). Conclusions: The device we used in this research demonstrated to be a valid solution for the treatment of chronic pelvic pain in female patients.
骨盆底肌肉张力过高或活动过度可导致慢性盆腔痛（CPP）。这是一种无明显临床原因的非特异性持续性疼痛，估计影响全球 6%至 16%的女性。本研究旨在使用经过验证的问卷评估一种新设备的疗效和安全性，该设备使用顶平磁刺激治疗 CPP 女性的肌肉张力过高。
所有患者均接受 8 次非侵入性电磁治疗设备治疗。该设备产生具有均匀轮廓的 TOP 平磁刺激，肌肉工作旨在减轻疼痛，同时抑制肌肉活动。使用 PISQ-12 问卷评估改善情况。监测副作用。
PISQ-12 总平均分从 29.2（±3.3）降至 17（±2）。关于行为-情感项目（1-4），从 12（±2）降至 7（±0.9）。身体项目（5-9）从 10.6（±1.8）降至 6（±1.4），伴侣相关项目（10-12）从 6.6（±1.6）降至 3.9（±0.4）。
我们在这项研究中使用的设备被证明是治疗女性慢性盆腔痛的有效方法。
