Shock wave and herbal treatments for long-term pelvic pain
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for long-term pelvic pain caused by prostatitis: sound wave therapy (using shock waves) and herbal medicine, or both together. It aims to see which is better at reducing pain and improving quality of life.

This trial tests whether combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections with low-intensity shock wave therapy works better than PRP alone for men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. PRP uses your own blood to help healing, and shock waves may improve blood flow to the penis.
This study tests a type of physiotherapy called TECAR therapy to see if it can reduce pain and improve quality of life in men with long-term pelvic pain (chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome). If you've had this condition for over 6 months, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two types of low-intensity wave therapy to see which works better for erectile dysfunction and/or chronic pelvic pain. Participants may benefit if these therapies improve erection quality and reduce pelvic pain.
This study compares two non-drug treatments—pulsed electromagnetic therapy and hydrotherapy (warm water therapy)—to see which one better relieves long-term pelvic pain in men. If you have chronic pelvic pain from non-bacterial prostatitis, this trial could help you find a new way to manage your symptoms.
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 study compares two outpatient treatments for persistent pelvic pain after childbirth: shockwave therapy (using sound waves to reduce pain) and acupuncture (using thin needles). If you have ongoing pelvic floor pain, these treatments might offer relief.
