Electrical stimulation therapy for pelvic floor muscle pain

Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment that uses gentle electrical stimulation through the vagina to reduce long-term pelvic pain caused by tight pelvic floor muscles. You might join if your pain has lasted over 6 months and exam shows specific muscle “trigger points.”

This study looks at how pelvic floor muscle fitness changes during treatment for chronic pelvic pain in women. It may help determine if physical therapy can improve pain and muscle function.
This trial tests whether a gentle electric current applied to the back or spine can reduce pelvic pain that has lasted more than a year and hasn't improved with usual treatments. It compares two types of stimulation with a placebo (inactive) group to see which works best.
This trial tests a gentle electrical stimulation treatment placed near the cervix to see if it can reduce pelvic pain after a procedure called uterine fibroid embolization, which is used to shrink fibroids. It aims to give better pain relief during recovery.
This study compares two treatments for chronic pelvic pain caused by tight pelvic floor muscles: a daily muscle relaxant pill (cyclobenzaprine) or a vibrating massage wand. The goal is to see which works better alongside pelvic floor physical therapy.
This study compares two types of pelvic floor muscle stimulation devices to see which better reduces urinary incontinence symptoms in women. If you leak urine, you may benefit from this non-drug treatment option.
This study tests whether a pacemaker-like device placed near the tailbone can reduce long-term pelvic pain in women who haven't gotten relief from other treatments.
