Effects of percutaneous nerve electrical stimulation combined with pelvic floor function training in treatment of patients with pelvic congestion syndrome
Objective:To observe effects of percutaneous nerve electrical stimulation combined with pelvic floor function training in patients with pelvic congestion syndrome.Methods:The clinical data of 64 patients with pelvic congestion syndrome admitted to this hospital from May 2021 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to different treatment methods,they were divided into control group and study group,32 cases in each group.The control group was given pelvic floor function training,while the study group was combined with percutaneous nerve electrical stimulation on the basis of that of the control group.The pelvic vein index(pelvic vein blood flow velocity,pelvic vein diameter)levels,the pain mediator(prostaglandin E2,substance P)levels,the pain[visual analogue scale(VAS)]score,and the quality of life[short form health survey(SF-36)]score were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention,the pelvic vein blood flow velocity in the study group was higher than that in the control group,the inner diameter of pelvic vein was smaller than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After the intervention,the levels of prostaglandin E2 and substance P in the study group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After the intervention,the VAS score of the study group was lower than that of the control group,the scores of each dimension of SF-36 in the study group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:Percutaneous nerve electrical stimulation combined with pelvic floor function training in the patients with pelvic congestion syndrome can improve the levels of pelvic vein indexes,reduce the levels of pain mediators and the pain scores,and improve the quality of life scores.Moreover,it is superior to simple pelvic floor function training intervention.
