Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the mechanisms by which surface electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve affects pelvic floor muscle contraction in nulliparous women with difficulty in pelvic floor muscle contraction.

Trial characteristics_1


Trial characteristics_2


Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

Tissue mobility during pelvic floor muscle contraction after each stimulation session (Displacement distance of the anorectal angle / Change in the anorectal angle).

Key secondary outcomes

Pelvic Floor Muscle Stiffness (Shear elastic modulus of the Levator Ani Muscle)
Muscle Activity of Muscles Other Than the Pelvic Floor Muscles (External Oblique Muscle / Internal Oblique Muscle / Adductor Magnus / Gluteus Maximus)

Interventions/Control_1

Intervention: Electrical stimulation at the maximum tolerable level combined with voluntary pelvic floor muscle contractions (5 seconds of electrical stimulation with contraction followed by 10 seconds of relaxation, repeated 10 times per session, for a total of 3 sessions).

Interventions/Control_2

Control condition: Voluntary pelvic floor muscle contractions (5 seconds of contraction followed by 10 seconds of relaxation, repeated 10 times per session, for a total of 3 sessions).
