Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - The purpose of this study is to elucidate the mechanisms by which surface electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve affects pelvic floor muscle contraction in nulliparous women with difficulty in pelvic floor muscle contraction.
Basic objectives2 - Others
Intervention:
Interventions/Control_1 - Intervention: Electrical stimulation at the maximum tolerable level combined with voluntary pelvic floor muscle contractions (5 seconds of electrical stimulation with contraction followed by 10 seconds of relaxation, repeated 10 times per session, for a total of 3 sessions).
Interventions/Control_2 - Control condition: Voluntary pelvic floor muscle contractions (5 seconds of contraction followed by 10 seconds of relaxation, repeated 10 times per session, for a total of 3 sessions).
