TENS to reduce pain during prostate biopsy

Prostate Cancer (Diagnosis)Prostate BiopsyPain, Procedural

Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Pain clinical trials.

This study tests whether TENS (a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin) can help reduce pain when combined with numbing medicine during a prostate biopsy procedure. The goal is to see if this may make the biopsy more comfortable for patients.
