Dual-target peripheral and central magnetic stimulation for rehabilitation of chronic pelvic pain syndrome associated with psychosomatic symptoms: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is frequently associated with psychological issues. Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) is potentially effective in treating CPPS, while repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has demonstrated therapeutic effects on anxiety and depression. Therefore, the study proposed herein aims to assess the efficacy and safety of dual-target magnetic stimulation in CPPS patients with psychological disorders.

Methods

This prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial will recruit 75 CPPS participants. After stratification by sex, participants will be randomly assigned via block randomization (1:1:1), sequentially based on enrollment order, to one of three groups: dual-target magnetic stimulation (rPMS and
