Objectives: Pudendal neuralgia (PN) is a sexual pain disorder characterized as pain of the genital and/or perineal regions, and despite the lack of clinical evidence supporting its use, pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) is a recommended treatment for PN.
Methods: An online anonymous cross-sectional survey was administered to participants through convenience sampling conducted on May 19 to September 19, 2023 to understand the self-reported efficacy of PFPT as a treatment for PN. Participants' measures included sociodemographics, Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), and satisfaction scores.
