Abstract
A ejaculação precoce (EP) é prevalente, apresentando diversos tipos de tratamento, evidenciando a falta de uma modalidade definitiva. A fisioterapia pélvica emerge como modalidade terapêutica e necessita de maior esclarecimento. Assim, buscou-se descrever a eficácia das técnicas de fisioterapia utilizadas no tratamento da EP. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa de ensaios clínicos nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e SciELO. Os resultados retornaram ensaios passíveis de inclusão, num total de cinco artigos utilizados. A fisioterapia pélvica mostrou sucesso de 54% a 83% de cura. O treino da musculatura do assoalho pélvico, auxiliado ou não por eletroestimulação e biofeedback, foi a técnica descrita. Conclui-se que a fisioterapia pélvica é eficaz na cura da maior parte das vítimas de EP. No entanto, mais estudos se fazem necessário nesta área, particularmente ensaios clínicos testando as diferentes técnicas.

ABSTRACT
Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most prevalent sexual dysfunction in men, and today there are several different types of treatment, indicating the lack of a definite mode for that. Physiotherapy emerges as a therapeutic, but needs further clarification. To describe the physiotherapy techniques currently used in the treatment of PE, discussing their effectiveness. Having this in mind, we performed a systematic review on PubMed, LILACS and SciELO, including clinical trials of physiotherapy techniques treating PE. Two databases returned files amenable to inclusion so, a total of five articles was used. Pelvic physiotherapy showed 54% to 83% cure rate and training of the pelvic floor muscles, aided or not by electrical stimulation and biofeedback, was the most frequent modality. Pelvic physiotherapy is effective in curing the majority of victims of PE, but further study in this area is a necessity, mainly clinical trials which test different techniques.
