Summary
Neuralgic pain caused by entrapment of peripheral nerves is an often overlooked cause of
chronic pelvic pain. The objective of the present study was to assess pain and quality of
life in women with pain caused by entrapment of the ilioinguinal nerve, iatrogenic after
surgery but also found without previous surgery. In a controlled prospective cross-over study
19 women were randomized either to medical treatment or to resection of the nerve.
Statistically significant improvements were found after surgical resection.
