About the study

This study compares two ways of delivering a combined radiofrequency (RET), muscle stimulation (Hi-EMS), and pulsed radiofrequency (Hi-TENS) therapy, hands-on by a physical therapist or hands-free using adhesive pads, and compares the combined therapy to hands-on manual therapy alone for pelvic pain in women with endometriosis. Participants attend 8 sessions over 6 weeks.
