5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The study was designed as a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled clinical trial. The study population was patients with vulvar leukoplakia, and compared the efficacy and safety of AI temperature-controlled radio frequency technology and electrical stimulation in the treatment of vulvar leukoplakia. According to the research purpose, the sample size was calculated and determined to be 260 cases, and they were randomly assigned to the observation group and the control group according to the ratio of 1:1, namely 130 cases in the radio frequency observation group and 130 cases in the electric stimulation control group.
