In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Pelvic floor manual therapy group and Pelvic floor electrolysis group for Dyspareunia and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Pelvic floor muscle physical therapy is recommended in clinical guidelines for women dyspareunia and pelvic pain. This study compare pelvic floor manual therapy and intratissue percutaneous electrolysis (EPI) technique in the treatment of pelvic pain in women with dyspareunia.

Interventions

Pelvic floor manual therapy groupprocedure

Soft-tissue (myofascial) stretching techniques on pelvic floor muscles through external and internal (intra-vaginal) mobilizations. One weekly session for four weeks.

Pelvic floor electrolysis groupprocedure

An ultrasound-guided application of a galvanic electrolytic current with an acupuncture needle in the soft tissue of pelvic floor. EPI technique was applied using a specifically device (EPI-X Omega Advanced Medicine, Barcelona, Spain) which produces modulated galvanic electricity. This is applied using a modified electrosurgical scalpel that incorporates acupuncture needles (0.3 mm in diameter) of different lengths. The intensity can be adjusted by changing either the duration of stimulation or the output current (mA) of the device. One weekly session for four weeks.
