Hi Carolineandy. I've seen this too. There are two papers on it, both from the same group, in 2005 and 2007 if I recall. They are in S. America - Chile?, not the USA.
There has been nothing since.
I have to think that some unacceptable side-effects occurred or that somehow the treatment didn't live up to its early promise. Otherwise there would be more studies by now.
I'm seeing a CRS today, and I can ask him if he knows anything about it.
Nifedipine/lidocaine, no help
Diltiazem, effective, but caused major rash
Nitroglycerine, effective.
Topical estrogen for final healing.
Gentle heat to bottom - pain relief, muscle relaxant
Kondremul mineral oil
Time - lots of time.
Status - Healed!
