Dorsal genital nerve stimulation

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dorsal genital nerve stimulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Two types of stimulation electrodes will be used: UCon Patch Electrodes (InnoCon Medical ApS, Denmark) and ValuTrodes/EconoStim Electrodes (5x5 cm, Axelgaard Manufacturing Co. Ltd., United States). The UCon Patch Electrode acts as a cathode and will be placed on the clitoris. The ValuTrode/EconoStim acts as an anode and will be placed on the lower abdomen. The continuous stimulation consists of a train of single pulses provided continuously with a frequency of 20 Hz and a pulse duration of 200 μs. The burst stimulus pattern consists of a train of bursts. The length of the train is 10 s and will consist of 20-30 bursts/s. One burst consists of 5 identical square pulses (monophasic). The inter-pulse interval is 4 ms (time between the onset of 2 consecutive pulses) while a pulse duration of 200 μs will be used.
