First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a device that delivers gentle electrical stimulation to the pelvic floor can reduce chronic pelvic pain in women. Sixty women with myofascial pelvic pain will either receive the device treatment or standard care (education and exercises). The goal is to see if the device provides better pain relief and can be delivered by nurses without special training.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Urostym device (high-frequency transvaginal electrical stimulation)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new, easy-to-access treatment option for women with chronic pelvic pain that doesn't require a specialist.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device may not work better than standard care, and there is a risk of discomfort or no improvement.
