Electroacupuncture for pain from adenomyosis
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture that uses a mild electric current) can reduce severe period pain caused by adenomyosis. If you have painful periods from adenomyosis and have not used hormonal treatments recently, this study may offer a non-drug treatment option.
