This study is looking at whether a transvaginal ultrasound can clearly show the pudendal nerve. The pudendal nerve is important for sensation and movement in the pelvic area. Currently, doctors often block this nerve for pain relief during childbirth or surgery using methods that aren't always successful. This study aims to see if using existing ultrasound technology can help doctors see the nerve better, which could lead to more effective nerve blocks. They plan to include 24 women who are already scheduled for a transvaginal ultrasound or pelvic floor surgery. The main goal is to see if the pudendal nerve can be observed during the ultrasound.

Study design

This is an observational study involving 24 women. It is not testing a new treatment, but rather observing if a specific technique can identify the pudendal nerve.

What's involved

You would have a transvaginal ultrasound where a sonographer or study team member will scan the lateral vaginal walls to locate the pudendal nerve. This would happen on one day.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary goal is to observe the pudendal nerve on the day of your participation, so there is no extended follow-up mentioned.
