New hope for women with pelvic pain: simple plug procedure shows promise
NCT ID NCT06553014
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a procedure called endovascular plug embolization to treat chronic pelvic pain caused by Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS), a condition where veins in the pelvis become enlarged and painful. 44 women with PCS took part. The procedure uses a small plug to block the faulty veins, aiming to reduce pain without major surgery. The goal was to see how quickly pain improved after the procedure.
