Brain zaps for pelvic pain? new study tests tDCS for endometriosis

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS can help relieve chronic pelvic pain in women with endometriosis. Thirty women who were already on hormone therapy and had daily pain scores above 4 out of 10 took part. The treatment involved several sessions of tDCS over two weeks, and researchers measured pain levels, pain sensitivity, and brain activity changes for about a month. The goal was to see if this pain-free, drug-free approach could offer a new way to ease endometriosis-related pain.
