Hormonal treatment isolated vs hormonal treatment associated with electrotherapy for pelvic pain control in deep endometriosis: Randomized clinical trial
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology Oct 19, 2020
Mira TAA, Yela DA, Podgaec S, et al. - Researchers conducted a multicenter randomized clinical trial investigating the clinical effectiveness of complementary treatment employing self-applied electrotherapy treatment for pain control over the standard hormonal treatment alone for deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE). A total of 101 participants with DIE were recruited to electrotherapy (n = 53) (hormonal treatment + electrotherapy) or control group (n = 48) (only hormonal treatment) Outcomes suggest electrotherapy treatment using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to be a good complementary option for pain control. It exhibited benefits in the reduction of chronic pelvic pain and deep dyspareunia and enhancing patient’s quality of life and sexual function.
