Sacral nerve stimulation for chronic pelvic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman between 22 and 70 years old.
- You have had pelvic pain (pain below your belly button) for at least 6 months, and you rate it as 4 or higher on a 0-to-10 pain scale.
- You have tried at least one non-surgical treatment (like physical therapy, medications, or bladder treatments) without success.
- Your pelvic pain medications have been the same for at least the past month.
- You agree not to start any new treatments for pelvic pain during the first part of the study.
- You are not currently pregnant, not breastfeeding, and will use reliable birth control if you could become pregnant.

This study tests a device called a spinal cord stimulator — a small implant that sends mild electrical pulses to nerves in your spine — to see if it can reduce long-term pelvic pain that hasn't gotten better with other treatments.
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 new type of spinal cord stimulator that uses closed-loop technology to treat chronic pelvic pain caused by a known injury. It may be an option if your pain is severe and hasn't responded to other treatments.
This study tests how well a short, in-office nerve evaluation (PNE) predicts the success of sacral neuromodulation—a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to calm bladder nerves. It is for women with urgency leaking or very frequent urination.
This trial tests if a non-invasive nerve stimulation device (TaVNS) can reduce pain, urinary symptoms, and mood issues in men with moderate to severe chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). It may offer a new drug-free option for symptom relief.
This trial studies whether sacral neuromodulation (a device that sends mild nerve signals) can improve bladder, bowel, and sexual symptoms caused by nerve problems. It is for people whose current bladder treatments have not worked well enough.
