Study Summary

The goal of the study is to evaluate the use of a personal intravaginal, non- implanted electrical stimulation device in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial comparing the investigated device to a sham device. The primary outcome is pain control using the visual analog scale and brief pain inventory (18). Hypothesis: Subjects will report increased pain relief with the electrical stimulation device compared to those using the sham device alone.

Primary Outcome

The Visual Analog Scale assesses self-reported pain scores. Patients were asked to record their average pain over the past 4 weeks by placing an "X" on a 10-cm line, with 0 representing no pain and 100 representing the worst pain imaginable. Pain scores were determined by research personnel by measuring the distance (in mm) from 0 to the X. Change = (Week 12 Score - Baseline Score).
