Does pudendal nerve block improve perioperative pain following onabotulinumtoxina injection for myofascial pelvic pain?

OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTA) injections are useful for treatment of myofascial pelvic pain. Concurrent pudendal nerve block (PNB) has been suggested to decrease postoperative pain, as BTA does not take immediate effect. The efficacy of PNB for this purpose has not been well elucidated. We aim to determine if PNB improves pain in the perioperative period following pelvic floor BTA injections.
