At-Home Neuromodulation for Female Sexual Dysfunction
NCT06932302 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24
Last updated 2025-12-23
Summary
This pilot study investigates the regular use of non-invasive dorsal genital nerve stimulation (DGS) for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD). The researchers aim to determine whether subjects with FSD can correctly follow an at-home treatment regimen and to demonstrate that DGS can improve FSD arousal symptoms in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Some subjects will use a smart vibrator for comparison to DGS.
Conditions
- Female Sexual Dysfunction
Interventions
- DEVICE
-
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation of the dorsal genital nerve will be accomplished using the UCon system and patch electrodes developed by InnoCon. The UCon system includes a programmable control unit; leads that connect to the control unit and electrodes; a silicone surface electrode; a reference electrode; and a remote control for quick on and off toggling of stimulation.
- DEVICE
-
Smart vibrator
Subjects will use a smart vibrator at home twice a week during the study. The Lioness smart vibrator records physiological responses during use.
