Stimulating the clitoris with electrical impulses may increase arousal to treat low libido. In a small study, including some participants with spinal cord injuries that affected their ability to experience genital sensation, 30 minutes of stimulation increased women’s arousal by several points on a scale of 1 to 5.
An estimated two in five premenopausal women worldwide suffer from some degree of sexual dysfunction. Symptoms vary in severity and may include lack of arousal, difficulty reaching orgasm, and pain.
