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.

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