Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) in individuals diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain syndrome and treated with medication. The study was organized as a randomized controlled trial. The sample size is 30 patients suffering from chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
Detailed Description
Volunteers who are between the ages of 20-40, diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study and will be randomized into 2 groups: Group I (TENS) and Group II (ESWT).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI)
Time Frame: baseline and immediately after the intervention
This assesses the quality of life. The index has sub dimensions(pain, urinary symptoms, quality of life impact). The score evaluation of the pain scale is between 1 and 21 points, the score evaluation of the urination scale is between 0 and 10 points, and the score evaluation of the quality of life scale is between 0 and 12 points.
VISUAL ANALOUGE SCALE
Time Frame: baseline and immediately after the intervention
It evaluates pain intensity grading between 0-10. Higher score shows severe pain.
ALGOMETER
Time Frame: baseline and immediately after the intervention
This evaluates pain tolerance threshold of the patients.The less score shows pain intolerance.
Secondary Outcomes
- Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale- HAD(baseline and immediately after the intervention)
- Lasegue Test(baseline and immediately after the intervention)
- Nottingham Health Profile-NHP(baseline and immediately after the intervention)
- Digital Muscle Testing(baseline and immediately after the intervention)
- Flexibility Measurements(baseline and immediately after the intervention)
- ROM Assessments(baseline and immediately after the intervention)
