Summary

This study looked at whether a small device that sends mild electrical pulses (TENS) can ease pain during a prostate biopsy. 84 men were randomly assigned to get TENS, a fake TENS device, or standard numbing medicine alone. The goal was to see if TENS lowers pain scores and is safe to use during the procedure.
