Magnetic therapy versus water therapy for chronic pelvic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged between 42 and 50 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain syndrome (a type of prostate inflammation not caused by bacteria).
- You have had pelvic, genital, or ejaculatory pain for at least 3 months within the last 6 months.
- If you take medication for this condition, your dose has been stable for at least 4 weeks before joining.
- You are willing to avoid starting any new treatments for prostatitis during the study.
- You do not have any open wounds, skin infections, severe heart problems, or epilepsy that would make water therapy unsafe.

This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy—a non-invasive treatment using magnetic waves—can reduce chronic pelvic pain caused by endometriosis (a condition where tissue grows outside the uterus). The goal is to see if this approach helps women manage their pain.
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 a magnetic chair that may help relax pelvic floor muscles and reduce pain in people with endometriosis. It is for those who have had pelvic pain for a while and are already on hormone therapy.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for women who have a sudden, strong need to urinate (urge urinary incontinence). It tests if electromagnetic field therapy or tibial nerve stimulation can help control these urges and reduce leaking.
This trial tests whether magnetic fields applied to your back can relieve chronic lower back pain that has lasted at least 12 weeks. It's for people aged 18 to 64 who are willing to attend all study visits.
