ABSTRACT
Neuropathic pain is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain. Its resistance to treatment, often challenges patient's cooperation to prolonged and sometimes interventional schemes and necessitates constant search for alternative or complementary interventions.

Electroacupuncture was applied as a last resort therapy and proved very effective in reducing pelvic pain; it permitted significant reduction in anti-depressant medication doses.
