Sacral neuromodulation has a robust literature showing benefits in sexual function for implant recipients. Tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) has seen a recent growth in studies for sexual dysfunction. Transcutaneous TNS provides a lower-barrier neuromodulation approach with potential efficacy for male and female sexual dysfunction. Other neuromodulation approaches, including spinal cord stimulation and dorsal genital nerve stimulation also have potential as therapies for sexual dysfunction.

Additionally, we integrate Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce feature dimensionality, optimizing the adversarial training process. When evaluated on Chest X-ray datasets, focusing on pneumonia and normal cases, the proposed mechanism demonstrated strong resilience against imperceptible attacks while maintaining a performance retention rate above 90 %.

In addition, the recent developments in electrical interfaces for the neuromuscular system can advance the possibility of the clinical adoption of electroceuticals. In this review, we first introduce the studies that have explored the potential of ES in the treatment or management of INMDs. We then highlight the recent advancements in interfaces to deliver ES to the neuromuscular system, focusing on their miniaturization, flexibility, and non-invasive implantation.
