Transmucosal Uterosacral Electrical Stimulation for Pelvic Pain Relief

Pelvic pain after uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is common and can slow recovery and increase the need for pain medication. There is growing interest in non-pharmacologic options that may help manage this discomfort. The TUNES device delivers gentle electrical stimulation through a vaginally placed disc, targeting sensory nerves involved in pelvic pain pathways. The components and stimulation levels fall within established safety parameters for similar FDA-cleared technologies. In this pilot study, participants will use the device for a short period after UFE under clinician supervision. The study will assess the feasibility, tolerability, and safety of this approach and explore whether this type of targeted stimulation may support improved comfort during early recovery. Findings from this work may help guide future investigation of transvaginal electrical stimulation as a potential adjunct to post-procedural pain management.
