Abstract: An intravaginal electrical stimulation device for treating pelvic pain in a female patient includes, in one embodiment, a set of intravaginal components comprising a frame, at least one pair of paracervical electrodes, an intravaginal capsule, a socket in the proximal end of the intravaginal capsule, an electrode plug that plugs into the socket, and connecting wires that electrically couple the electrode plug to the paracervical electrodes. The intravaginal components are designed to inserted into the patient's vagina so that one or more electrodes are in direct contact with the vaginal epithelium in the lateral vaginal fornices. In some embodiments, a cutaneous electrode may be included to be attached to the skin of the female patient.

Abstract: An intravaginal electrical stimulation device for treating pelvic pain in a female patient comprises a set of intravaginal components and an external controller. The intravaginal components include a frame, at least one pair of paracervical electrodes embedded in the proximal portion of the frame, an intravaginal capsule, an electrode plug that plugs into a socket in the proximal end of the capsule, and connecting wires that electrically couple the electrode plug to the paracervical electrodes. The intravaginal components are designed to inserted into the patient's vagina so that the paracervical electrodes are in direct contact with the vaginal epithelium in the lateral vaginal fornices.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an intravaginal electrical neurostimulation device for treating pelvic pain and external genital pain in female patients capable of delivering targeted electrical stimulation to the pelvic nerves, the paracervical nerves and the sacral nerves using an electrode that is in direct contact with the paracervical vaginal epithelium in the posterior and lateral vaginal fornices. Beneficially, devices constructed and used in accordance with embodiments of the present invention can be used without the aid of a medical practitioner and can be dynamically controlled and adjusted by the patient to provide personalized electrical stimulation patterns when the patient is experiencing pain or when she anticipates the onset of pelvic pain due to, for example, menstruation or sexual intercourse. Embodiments of the present invention typically comprise a set of intravaginal components and a set of extravaginal components.
