About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Nerve Entrapments

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Patients with symptoms of chronic pelvic pain , dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea and severe, burning sharp pain on the lower extremity dermatomes, which had been present for at least one year were included. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who underwent laparoscopic decompression surgery but did not give informed consent were not included in the study.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring for decompression surgery

Arm Description

we integrated intraoperative neuromonitoring system into laparoscopic lumbosacral plexus nerve decompression surgery and simultaneusly recorded nerve roots from lumbar 5 to sacral 4 during the operation. Diseases that cause pelvic nerve compression such as abnormal vascular conflict, aberrant priformis muscle, and endometriosis have settled in hard-to-reach deep areas of the pelvis. These areas can be accesed more easily with by laparoscopy, which provides better magnification and visualization. Sacral and sciatic nerves might be damaged when performing decompression surgery in these deep pelvic areas. Patients who gave informed consent and underwent surgical treatment for a proven diagnosis of lumbosacral plexus nerve entrapment were included in the study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pain score assessment with visual Analogic Scale (VAS)
Pain symptoms (Dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, sciatic pain, chronic pelvic pain) were evaluated preoperatively , and re-evaluated at the postoperative first month.
