“…The back-translated English version was compared with the original PISQ-12 for accuracy and comprehension by another monolingual expert. Necessary modifications were then made in order to obtain the final version of the Chinese PISQ-12, per the Turkish validation of the questionnaire [2]. Five women without PFD subsequently tested the validated questionnaire, spending an average of approximately 5 minutes completing it.…”

“…The responses were graded on a 5-point scale from ‘Never’ to ‘Always’, but for items 1–4, reverse scoring was used [19]. The PISQ-12 is considered incomplete if the subject answered less than 10 questions [20].…”

A quantitative approach to measure women’s sexual function using electromyography: A preliminary study of the Kegel exercise

BackgroundCurrently, the reference standard used to clinically assess sexual function among women is a qualitative questionnaire. Hence, a generalised and quantitative measurement tool needs to be available as an alternative. This study investigated whether an electromyography (EMG) measurement tecnique could be used to help quantify women’s sexual function.Material/MethodsA preliminary intervention study was conducted on 12 female subjects, who were randomised into a control (n=6) and an intervention (n=6) group. Intervention involved a set regimen of pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegel) and the control group did not have any treatment. All subjects were asked to answer a validated, self-rated Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire (PISQ). EMG measurements of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and the abdominal muscles were taken from all women at recruitment and 8 weeks after study commencement.ResultsAfter 8 weeks, most of the subjects in the control group did not display any noted positive difference in either PISQ score (4/6) or in their muscle strength (4/6). However, a noted progressive difference were observed in subjects who were placed in the Kegel group; PISQ score (5/6) and muscles strength (4/6).ConclusionsThe noted difference in the Kegel group subjects was that if progress is observed in the sexual function, improvement is also observed in the strength of at least 2 types of muscles (either abdominal or PFM muscles). Thus, EMG measurement is a potential technique to quantify the changes in female sexual function. Further work will be conducted to validate this assumption.

“…The PISQ-12 accurately predicts long-form scores and is in keeping with the length of other short-form QoL questionnaires. It has also been validated in a Turkish population [38].…”
