Summary

This trial is testing a new method to relieve pelvic pain by freezing specific nerves using MRI guidance. It targets patients who haven't found relief from other treatments, especially those with pain after pelvic trauma or surgery. The freezing stops the nerves from sending pain signals, providing relief for an extended period.
