Novel insights of vulvodynia pathophysiology from reliable and comprehensive pelvic floor muscle surface electromyography characterization: can it help predict response to botulinum toxin treatment?
Vulvodynia is associated with decreased activity intensity in the superficial PFM and altered electrical coupling, as shown by sEMG, which can enhance the precision of BoNT/A treatment response prediction and thus reduce the economic and psychological burden of ineffective treatment.
