About this trial
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.
