For example, 3 detailed and comprehensive chapters are dedicated to genitourinary, pelvic, and perineal pain syndromes. Smith presents treatment options for these conditions ranging from pharmacological remedies for the restoration of the bladder lining, to rehabilitative and behavioral measures such as pelvic floor relaxation techniques, to neuromodulatory procedures such as sacral nerve stimulation. These chapters present excellent fluoroscopic images of superior hypogastric nerve blocks and ganglion impar blocks.
