    Long-term electrical nerve stimulation significantly reduced pain and urinary frequency in women with chronic interstitial cystitis. This simple, non-destructive treatment is recommended for its favorable outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Neurology
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Chronic interstitial cystitis (CIC) is a debilitating condition characterized by pelvic pain and urinary urgency.
    • Current treatments for CIC have variable efficacy and can be invasive or have side effects.

    Observation:

    • This study investigated the efficacy of long-term intravaginal or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in managing CIC symptoms.
    • Fourteen women with CIC received continuous, daily electrical stimulation for periods ranging from 6 months to 2 years.

    Findings:

    • Long-term electrical nerve stimulation led to a substantial decrease in both pain and frequency of micturition in all 14 patients.
    • Clinical and urodynamic evaluations confirmed significant symptom improvement after the treatment period.

    Implications:

    • Electrical nerve stimulation offers a simple, cost-effective, and non-destructive therapeutic option for chronic interstitial cystitis.
    • This treatment modality demonstrates potential for widespread application in managing CIC symptoms and improving patient quality of life.
