First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether physiotherapy and a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can reduce pain in women with provoked vestibulodynia, a condition that causes pain during intercourse or tampon use. About 240 Canadian women will receive one of four treatments: light therapy, a sham light, physiotherapy plus light, or physiotherapy plus sham light. The goal is to find which approach best eases pain and improves quality of life over 14 weeks, with follow-ups at 6 months and 1 year.
