Electrical stimulation for pelvic pain after fibroid treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a gentle electrical stimulation treatment placed near the cervix to see if it can reduce pelvic pain after a procedure called uterine fibroid embolization, which is used to shrink fibroids. It aims to give better pain relief during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a treatment that uses gentle electrical stimulation through the vagina to reduce long-term pelvic pain caused by tight pelvic floor muscles. You might join if your pain has lasted over 6 months and exam shows specific muscle “trigger points.”
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.
This trial tests whether using a TENS device (a mild electrical stimulation machine) during an in-office urethral bulking procedure helps reduce pain. If you are a woman with stress urinary incontinence scheduled for this treatment, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a device called TENS can help reduce chronic pelvic pain in people with endometriosis or adenomyosis. It is designed for those who are on stable hormone therapy and willing to limit other pain medications during the study.
This trial tests a remote electrical stimulation device to reduce endometriosis pain flare-ups. It may help if you have regular or irregular periods with pelvic pain and own a smartphone.
This study tests if a small device called TENS (which uses mild electrical pulses) can reduce pain when getting an IUD placed. If you are coming to MUSC Women's Health for an IUD insertion and choose a specific type, you may be able to join.
