Sacral Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation Efficacy in Chronic Pelvic Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Sacral Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation Efficacy in Chronic Pelvic Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial

The goal of this interventional study is to test of efficacy of sacral Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation (TENS) in patients with chronic pelvic pain.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is sacral transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) effective to reduce/relief pain in patients with chronic pelvic pain?
2. Is the effect of TENS comparable to sham stimulation therapy in patients with chronic pelvic pain?

Our study aiming to test the efficacy of sacral transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) intervention in patients with chronic pelvic pain. We aim to test the efficacy and compare it with sham stimulation therapy in chronic pelvic pain.
