Transmucosal Uterosacral Electrical Stimulation for Pelvic Pain Relief

United States60 participantsStarted 2026-04-01

Plain-language summary

This study will test whether gentle electrical stimulation to nerves near the uterus can reduce pelvic pain after uterine fibroid embolization. The investigators hypothesize that participants receiving active TUNES stimulation will experience lower pain levels and improved early recovery compared to those receiving sham stimulation or standard care.
