Immediate and Long-Term Effects of Tibial Nerve Stimulation on the Sexual Behavior of Female Rats.

Objectives: There are limited treatment options for female sexual dysfunction (FSD). Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) has shown improvements in FSD symptoms in neuromodulation clinical studies, but the direct effects on sexual function are not understood. This study evaluated the immediate and long-term effects of PTNS on sexual motivation and receptivity in a rat model of menopausal women.
