Purpose: to evaluate efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) and Dextrose phonophoresis on treatment of iliohypogastric neuralgia after inguinal herniorraphy. Methods: - 90 male and female patients with iliohypogastric postoperative neuralgia, were divided into three groups. Group (A) received the PEMFT in addition to the traditional physical therapy and medical care for 3 months. Group (B) received the 5% Dextrose phonophoresis in addition to the traditional physical therapy and medical care only for 3 months, Group (C) received the PEMFT (10 minutes) + 50 % Dextrose phonophoresis (10 minutes) in addition to the traditional physical therapy and medical care every other day for the 3 months as a total period of treatment.
