Interventions
Functional magnetic stimulation (FMS)
Every patient will receive 20-minute FMS sessions on the TESLA FORMER device. Each treatment session will consist of one cycle (20 minutes each) based on the treatment area's size and the investigator's discretion. Treatment will be administered by a single applicator secured directly over the abdominal muscles. The device's output intensity will be escalated to a tolerable level depending on patient feedback, with average maximum intensities ranging from 98% to 100% across treatment sessions. The treatment will be 20 minutes long, with several steps including different frequency modulations to achieve stimulation of different muscle fibres.
Conventional pharmacological therapy
Every patient in both groups will receive conventional pharmacological therapy for 8 weeks.
