Dyspareunia is genital pain associated with sexual activity that affects the quality of life of many women. Physiotherapy is a promising, albeit sometimes uncomfortable, option. This study aims to integrate capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency (CRMRF) as a complementary therapy. This study aims to evaluate the benefits of combining CRMRF with vaginal manual physiotherapy in young women with dyspareunia.
ology: A randomized, prospective, single-blind clinical trial was conducted. Women aged 18 to 30 with superficial dyspareunia were divided into two groups: an intervention group (GI) receiving CRMRF and manual therapy, and a control group (GC) receiving only manual therapy. Four sessions were conducted, assessing sexual function using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the Female Sexual Function Questionnaire (FSM). Data were collected before and after treatment, with a follow-up at three months.
Both groups showed significant improvements in sexual function at the end of treatment. In the GI, improvements were observed in desire, arousal, lubrication, satisfaction, and pain reduction. The GC also showed improvements in these domains. No significant improvements were observed in either group at three months, suggesting that treatment benefits were maintained without additional long-term improvements.
Manual therapy alone and in combination with CRMRF improved sexual function immediately after treatment. No additional improvements were observed at three months, indicating the sustained benefits and emphasizing the need to evaluate maintenance strategies and consider psychological factors.

性交困难是与性活动相关的生殖器疼痛，影响着许多女性的生活质量。物理治疗是一种有前景的选择，尽管有时会让人不适。本研究旨在将电容电阻单极射频（CRMRF）作为一种辅助治疗方法。本研究旨在评估在患有性交困难的年轻女性中，将CRMRF与阴道手法物理治疗相结合的益处。
进行了一项随机、前瞻性、单盲临床试验。年龄在18至30岁的浅表性性交困难女性被分为两组：干预组（GI）接受CRMRF和手法治疗，对照组（GC）仅接受手法治疗。共进行了四个疗程，使用女性性功能指数（FSFI）和女性性功能问卷（FSM）评估性功能。在治疗前后收集数据，并在三个月后进行随访。
两组在治疗结束时性功能均有显著改善。在干预组中，性欲、性唤起、润滑、满意度和疼痛减轻方面均有改善。对照组在这些方面也有改善。在三个月时，两组均未观察到显著改善，这表明治疗效果得以维持，没有进一步的长期改善。
单独的手法治疗以及与CRMRF联合治疗在治疗后立即改善了性功能。在三个月时未观察到进一步改善，这表明了持续的益处，并强调了评估维持策略和考虑心理因素的必要性。
