NCT ID NCT07348952
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different modes of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to relieve chronic pelvic pain in 60 men who had prostate surgery. Participants received TENS sessions three times a week for three months. The goal was to see which mode works better for reducing pain and stress-related cortisol levels.
