Abstract:
Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of temperature-controlled radiofrequency combined with electrical stimulation biofeedback on postpartum dyspareunia in women.Methods In this study,166 patients suffering from dyspareunia due to pelvic floor muscle hypertonicity who visited the Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Medicine Center of our hospital were selected as subjects.They were randomly divided into three groups:the electrical stimulation biofeedback treatment group(55 cases),the radiofrequency treatment group(55 cases),and the combined electrical stimulation biofeedback and radiofrequency treatment group(56 cases).Patients in the electrical stimulation biofeedback therapy group received only electrical stimulation biofeedback therapy;patients in the radiofrequency group were treated solely with radiofrequency therapy;and patients in the combined treatment group began receiving gynecological radiofrequency treatment from the second week,in addition to the same treatment as the electrical stimulation biofeedback treatment group.To evaluate the effectiveness of the three treatment methods,comparative analyses were conducted on the pelvic floor modified Oxford muscle strength measurement results,pelvic floor surface electromyography values,and sexual function(FSFI)scores of the three groups of patients before and after treatment.Results After treatment,the average resting electromyography(EMG)value of the combined treatment group decreased(P＜0.05),indicating a significant improvement in muscle relaxation function.After treatment,the combined treatment group showed significant improvements in the pelvic floor modified Oxford muscle strength test,the maximum EMG value of fast-twitch(type Ⅱ fibers)muscles,the average EMG value of slow-twitch(type Ⅰ fibers)muscles,and the average EMG value of endurance test,and also demon-strated significant improvements in sexual function(FSFI)scores,which were superior to the electrical stimulation biofeedback treatment group and the radiofrequency treatment group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combined treatment of temperature control radiofrequency and electrical stimulation with biofeedback has shown significant therapeutic effects in the treatment of postpartum dyspareunia,offering a broad prospect for clinical application.
