Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation for moderate to severe chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (TASC-P) in China: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
BMJ Open6/9/2026·06/09/26🌐 Asia
Summary
This article describes the protocol for the TASC-P trial, a randomized controlled trial evaluating transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation for chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. The trial aims to enroll participants across multiple centers in China.
Why it matters
Chronic pelvic pain remains a challenging condition with limited treatment options. If successful, this trial could establish taVNS as a non-invasive therapy for pelvic pain and expand applications of vagus nerve stimulation beyond depression and epilepsy.
