Summary

This study is testing whether a 3-month online pelvic health program can reduce pain and improve sexual wellbeing in adult women with provoked vestibulodynia, a condition causing chronic genital pain. The program includes pain education, relaxation exercises, and pelvic floor exercises. Researchers will compare women who start the program right away to those who wait, measuring pain, sexual function, and satisfaction.

Active substance: virtual online pelvic health program
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide an accessible, self-guided treatment option for women with chronic genital pain, reducing pain and improving sexual function.
