At-Home Neuromodulation for Female Sexual Dysfunction
Sponsor: University of Michigan
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.

Interventions
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.
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.
