Pelvic pain after uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is common and can slow recovery andincrease the need for pain medication. There is growing interest in non‐pharmacologicoptions that may help manage this discomfort. The TUNES device delivers gentle electricalstimulation through a vaginally placed disc, targeting sensory nerves involved in pelvicpain pathways. The components and stimulation levels fall within established safetyparameters for similar FDA‐cleared technologies.In this pilot study, participants will use the device for a short period after UFE underclinician supervision. The study will assess the feasibility, tolerability, and safety ofthis approach and explore whether this type of targeted stimulation may support improvedcomfort during early recovery. Findings from this work may help guide futureinvestigation of transvaginal electrical stimulation as a potential adjunct topost‐procedural pain management.
