Latest News and Articles on ReGS/PSAS/ PGAD by Prof. Marcel D. Waldinger

In 2009, Prof. Dr. Waldinger and his colleagues have published five important articles on Restless Genital Syndrome.
Prof. Waldinger has been the first to identify  the real cause of ReGS and therefore also the real cause of PSAS or PGAD. It is a small fiber sensory neuropathy (SFSN) of the dorsal nerve of the clitoris (DNC), a small nerve in the vicinity of the clitoris and vagina.
Prof. Waldinger has also been the first to show the efficacy of TENS treatment for ReGS, PSAS or PGAD.

IMPORTANT!! Some internet sites, particularly in the USA, state that PGAD is a newly described disorder that is not yet fully understood or defined and is difficult to treat. This is unfortunate as it gives the impression that PGAD still is a rather mysterious disorder. But it is not. These websites are not up-dated with recent research. The studies of Prof. Waldinger have shown that ReGS, including PSAS or PGAD, is a well-described neurological disorder that can be treated with TENS and or medication (daily clonazepam, or oxazepam, or on-demand tramadol;  local injection with bupivacaine 0.5% or bupivacaine 0.5% + 40 mg methylprednisolon).
