Pelvic floor tension myalgia (PFTM) represents a pelvic floor dysfunction related to increased activity or hypertonicity of pelvic floor muscles that leads to chronic pelvic pain or miofascial syndrome. In the current research, we assess the efficacy and safety of a device that uses top flat magnetic stimulation for the management of hypertonicity in women with chronic pelvic pain and interstitial cystitis. Materials and Methods. Vulvar Functional Status Questionnaire (VQ) was used for the evaluation of patient\u2019s chronic pelvic pain and muscle hypertone improvements. The interstitial cystitis was assessed by the Leary\u2013Sant symptom and problem indexes (ICSI and ICPI). In this study, the scores resulting from the sum of the two indexes were evaluated as OSS (ICSI\u2009+\u2009ICPI). Results. Women with chronic pelvic pain and muscle hypertone showed VQ mean values significantly lower than the controls <jats:inline-formula>\n                     <a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                        <a:mfenced open=\"(\" close=\")\" separators=\"|\">\n                           <a:mrow>\n                              <a:mi>p<\/a:mi>\n                              <a:mtext>\u2009<\/a:mtext>\n                              <a:mo>&lt;<\/a:mo>\n                              <a:mtext>\u2009<\/a:mtext>\n                              <a:mn>0.005<\/a:mn>\n                           <\/a:mrow>\n                        <\/a:mfenced>\n                     <\/a:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula> from the second treatment up to the sixth one.
