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.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective, non-drug way to manage chronic pelvic pain after prostate surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 60 participants. Results may not apply to all patients, and the effect may be modest or not last long-term.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients will be chosen after a routine medical examination. * All patients will be approximately the same age (from 50-60 years old). * All patients have chronic pudendal neuralgia post-prostatectomy surgery. * They have not take another physical therapy electro- modality except the traditional physical therapy in the form of pelvic floor exercises. * All of them will be non smokers and will be under own prescribed medications described by their physicians. * The pain is located in the pudendal nerve distribution area. * Pain intensity increased in the sitting position. * There were no symptoms of nocturnal pain. * Pain with no objective sensory impairment. * Pain was relieved by diagnostic pudendal nerve block. * Another clinical standard provides extra support to the diagnosis of pudendal neuralgia. * Pain symptoms may be associated with sexual dysfunction. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients have simple tailbone, gluteus muscle or lower abdominal pain, or only paroxysmal pain, or only pruritic symptoms, and/or having imaging anomalies that may explain the symptoms. * Patients who take anticoagulant drugs or have any coagulation disorder. * Patients who will be unable to complete the study. * Patients with pain, which is caused by malignant or autoimmune diseases. * Patients with life threatening disorders as renal failure, myocardial infarction or others will be excluded from the study. * Patients who suffering from skin diseases, diabetes, varicose veins, trauma and peripheral vascular diseases will be excluded. * Patients who suffering from myasthenia gravis, hyperthyroidism, hemorrhage, acute viral diseases, acute tuberculosis, mental disorders or those with pace makers will be excluded from the study
