Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that the association of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) with pelvic floor muscle training will have a better intravaginal pressure of healthy women when compared to the placebo intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that the association of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) with pelvic floor muscle training will have a better quality of life of healthy women when compared to the placebo intervention. ;It is expected that the association of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) with pelvic floor muscle training will have a better sexual function of healthy women when compared to the placebo intervention.
