Testing a nerve stimulation device for chronic pelvic pain
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) with pain in the prostate, scrotum, lower belly, or inner thigh for at least 3 of the last 6 months.
- You have urinary symptoms like frequent or urgent urination, pain when urinating, or discharge.
- Your symptom score (NIH-CPSI) is 15 or higher, meaning moderate to severe symptoms.
- You have not received CP/CPPS treatment in the past 4 weeks.
- You do not have other conditions like an enlarged prostate, bladder problems, sexually transmitted infections, or serious heart, liver, or kidney disease.

This study tests if a gentle electrical pulse to a nerve in your ankle can help reduce urgent, frequent, and nighttime urination after prostate surgery for an enlarged prostate. It may offer a non-drug way to speed recovery.
This study tests a nerve stimulation device placed near the tailbone to help men with overactive bladder symptoms. If you have bothersome urinary urgency or frequency, this treatment may offer relief without drugs.
This trial tests a new nerve stimulation approach for women with bladder pain syndrome. It aims to find a gentler way to reduce pain and urgency without surgery.
