NCT ID NCT06932302
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study from the University of Michigan is testing whether a non-invasive nerve stimulation device, used at home, can improve sexual arousal in women with female sexual dysfunction. Twenty-four participants will use the UCon patch system to stimulate the dorsal genital nerve, while some will also use a smart vibrator for comparison. The main goal is to see if women can follow the treatment schedule and if it helps with arousal symptoms.
