Abstract：Objective: To investigate the efficacy of manipulation combined with electrical stimulation and
biofeedback on the treatment of female sexual dysfunction.
Methods: Seventy-two female patients with sexual dysfunction were recruited from the Third
Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2014 to December 2015. Subjects
were randomly divided into three groups (A, B, and C). Patients in group A and group B received
manipulation therapy and electrical stimulation biofeedback therapy, respectively, while patients in
group C received manipulation combined with biofeedback electrical stimulation treatment for 30
days. Th e strength and fatigue degree of the type I and the type II muscle fi ber of the pelvic muscles
in all groups were evaluated before and one month after the treatment for further comparison.
Questionnaire survey was used to investigate the frequency of sexual life and orgasm before and after treatment.
Results: The strength and fatigue degree of patients in group C was significantly better than those
of the other two groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Manipulation therapy combined with electrical stimulation and biofeedback can
effectively enhance the recovery of sexual dysfunction in postpartum women and improve the
quality of sexual life for patients with postpartum sexual dysfunction. It therefore can be spread in
clinical practice.
