Summary

This study tests whether a small electrical device (TENS) can reduce pelvic pain in women with endometriosis or adenomyosis. 92 women on stable hormone therapy will use the device for 45 minutes daily over 4 weeks, rating their pain on a scale. The goal is to see if the device lowers average pain scores compared to a sham treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
TENS device (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free option to manage endometriosis pain at home.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with no blinding for the device. Pain is subjective, and results may not apply to all women with endometriosis.
