First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a device called TUNES, which delivers gentle electrical stimulation through a menstrual disc to nerves near the uterus. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and the need for pain medication in 60 women after uterine fibroid embolization. Participants will be randomly assigned to active TUNES, a sham device, or standard care, and pain levels will be compared.
