Mean age was 50 years (range: 20\u201358). Failed prior therapies include medical therapy (100%), pelvic floor physical therapy (92%), pudendal nerve blocks (85%), pelvic floor muscle trigger point injections (69%), neuromodulation (30.7%), or surgeries for urogenital pain (23.1%). After the trial period, 10\/13 (76.9%) had &gt;50% improvement in pain with 6\/13 (46.1%) reporting 100% pain improvement. Nine underwent permanent lead placement. At last postoperative visit (range, 6\u201383 days), 5\/9 patients reported &gt;50% pain improvement.
