Summary

Vulvodynia is a chronic vulvar pain condition that can significantly affect quality of life. Low-intensity focal extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been proposed as a non-invasive therapeutic option, but real-world data remain limited.

This retrospective observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a four-session focal shock wave therapy protocol in women with vulvodynia treated in routine clinical practice at a university hospital. Clinical data collected during standard care, as well as questionnaire responses, will be analyzed to assess changes in symptoms and functional outcomes following treatment.

Conditions

  • Vulvodynia

Interventions

DEVICE

Low-Intensity Focal Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

Low-intensity focal extracorporeal shock wave therapy delivered using a medical device (Duolith SD1, Storz Medical). The protocol consisted of four treatment sessions performed in routine clinical practice, typically at weekly intervals. Treatment parameters followed standard clinical settings used for vulvodynia management.
