Many women with endometriosis still experience pain despite surgical and medical treatment. Over-the-counter painkillers are usually helpful in alleviating this pain. But for some patients, these medications eventually stop working. Pain then dominates their daily life. In this study, we are investigating the effects of magnetic stimulation using the "Tesla chair" and whether it can alleviate their pain
Patients who are diagnosed with CPP and hypertonic pelvic floor as assessed in gynaecological exam will be asked to participate. Before start of the Tesla chair treatment VAS Score by PPAF will be assessed. After 6 treatments (after 3 weeks an intermediate doctor's consultation will rule out aggravation of CPP by treatment and if possible the next cycle of 6 treatments will be scheduled. After completion of 12 treatments the VAS Score will be reassessed and treatments' success evaluated in a doctor's consultation. We plan to re-evaluate sustaining success after 3 months after treatments completion

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
