A rare case of perineal neuralgia treated with ultrasound-guided nerve block combined with water separation.
Article in Ibrain, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A middle-aged man experienced intermittent acupuncture-like pain in the skin of the right scrotum and medial thigh 1 month after undergoing laparoscopic high ligation of the right hernial sac for a right indirect inguinal hernia in November 2020, and the pain persisted for 6 months. Under ultrasound guidance, ilioinguinal and genitofemoral nerve block and local adhesion water separation were performed with a mixture of 0.25% lidocaine (6 mL) plus prednisolone acetate (10 mg), and the same drugs and methods were repeated five times once a week. After five treatments, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score was reduced from 7 before treatment to 1. During the follow-up period, at 3 months after the end of treatment, the VAS score remained at 0, and this score was sustained at 0 even at the 6-month follow-up. These outcomes indicate that ultrasound-guided nerve block combined with water separation technology can effectively alleviate neuralgia caused by surgical adhesion, which holds important clinical significance in managing such conditions.
