About
This study will be conducted to investigate the combined effect of therapeutic ultrasound and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on relieving adhesions and pain related to endometriosis.
Full description
Endometriosis affects 10-15% of reproductive-age women, causing pelvic pain and infertility. While laparoscopy is the primary treatment, it has risks. Medications are also used but often have side effects. Complementary therapies like acupuncture, yoga, and physical therapy modalities show promise. Therapeutic ultrasound has demonstrated effectiveness in managing chronic pain and adhesions associated with endometriosis. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has shown positive results in pain relief and potentially improving uterine conditions for implantation. This study aims to investigate the combined effect of therapeutic ultrasound and TENS on endometriosis-related adhesion and pain, providing valuable information for physical therapists in treating this condition.
