Electrical stimulation therapy for pelvic floor muscle pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain 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.”
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18 to 65
- Your pelvic pain has lasted more than 6 months
- Your average daily pain is at least 4 out of 10
- An exam finds trigger points in internal pelvic floor muscles
- You can come to weekly clinic visits and complete questionnaires/interviews

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study measures how tight and sensitive your pelvic floor muscles are before and after treatment for chronic pelvic pain. Researchers want to understand if strengthening these muscles can help reduce pain that has lasted more than 3 months.
This study uses a light device on the skin to detect muscle trigger points in women with long-term pelvic pain. The goal is to see if near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can help diagnose myofascial pelvic pain more easily.
This trial tests a new way to relieve pelvic pain after uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) using gentle electrical stimulation applied through the vagina. It may help reduce pain without extra medication.
This study tests whether adding electrical stimulation (interferential current) to pelvic floor muscle training helps women with vaginismus. It is designed for newly married women who have a sedentary lifestyle and moderate to severe pain with penetration.
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 trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation device can reduce pelvic pain. You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: stimulation over the spine, over a nerve bundle, or a placebo (sham) treatment. The study aims to find a new treatment option for people whose pain has not responded to standard therapies.
