Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation on Dyspareunia

Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS)was proven to stimulate the secretion of endogenous opioid peptides which are partial substitutes for the exogenous opioids stimulated by drugs in the central nervous system and can thus relieve pain. Till now there is no previous study that investigates the effect of TEAS on dyspareunia. This study will determine the effect of transcutaneous acupoint stimulation on dyspareunia. Patients will be divided randomly into two groups equal in number: The control group will receive only topical medication. The study group will receive Acu-TENS and topical medication.
