Pelvic neuralgias frequently cause severe pain and may have associated bladder,
bowel, or sexual dysfunctions which also impact quality of life. This article
explores the etiology, epidemiology, presentation and treatment of common causes
of neurogenic pelvic pain, including neuralgia of the border nerves
(ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric,
and genitofemoral), pudendal neuralgia,
clunealgia, sacral radiculopathies caused by Tarlov cysts, and cauda equina
syndrome. Treatment of pelvic neuralgia includes conservative measures such as
pelvic physical therapy, lifestyle modification, and medications with escalation
to more invasive and novel treatments such as nerve blocks, radiofrequency
ablation, cryoablation, neuromodulation and neurectomy/neurolysis if conservative
treatments are ineffective.
