Shocking pain away: new study tests TENS for prostate biopsy
NCT ID NCT07578324
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a small device that sends mild electrical pulses through the skin (TENS) can reduce pain during a prostate biopsy. About 140 men will get either a real TENS device or a fake one, along with standard numbing medicine. The goal is to see if TENS makes the procedure more comfortable.
