Clinical Trial Summary

To study the efficacy of adding Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to selected physical therapy exercise program on pain in patients with pudendal neuralgia.

Fifty-two male participants with chronic pudendal neuralgia (30-50 years) shared in this study.

Methods: patients were assigned randomly into two groups equal in number; study and control groups with 26 patients in each. All patients were receiving the same physical therapy exercise program, in addition to the same prescribed analgesic medication. Patients in the study group received additional TENS therapy and those in the control group received sham TENS. Treatment was provided three sessions per week for twelve successive weeks. The participants underwent baseline and post treatment assessment for pain level as measured by three methods; Serum Cortisol Level (SCL), Daily Etodolac intake dose (DEID), and Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS).
