TECAR therapy
WINBACK 3SE (France) will be used for TECAR therapy in this study. To facilitate optimal distribution of endogenous heat therapy and effective contact between the active electrodes, both capacitive and resistive, and the surface of the skin, a layer of high-conductivity cream will be applied to the treatment region. The plate, an inactive electrode, which has a specific size (21cm\*15cm), will be placed on the gluteal region. The capacitive electrode was employed for a duration of seven and a half minutes, at an intensity of 30-40%, whereas the resistance electrode will be utilized for an equivalent period over the perineum at the same intensity.
Sham TECAR therapy
The procedure is similar to the active treatment of TECAR, but with the critical difference being that the output intensity of the TECAR device will be set to zero during the session.
