Testing a nerve stimulation device for chronic pelvic pain
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain 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.
