Electric stimulation for long-term pelvic pain
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have had pelvic pain for more than one year (not caused by muscles or bones).
- Your pain is at least 4 on a 0 to 10 scale.
- Your current pain medications have been stable for at least one month.

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 a wearable acupressure device (which applies pressure to specific body points) to see if it can reduce long-term pelvic pain in women. It may offer a drug-free option for managing pain that has lasted more than 6 months.
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 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.
This trial tests if a single session of electrical stimulation to the sciatic nerve can quickly reduce leg pain related to low back problems. It may help if you have had chronic sciatica (leg pain from your back) for more than 6 months and your pain has recently been interfering with daily life.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical treatment placed on the skin near the spine can reduce chronic low back pain. If you qualify, you’ll try the stimulation and complete several assessments over a day, so the team can measure any pain and function changes.
