First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tests whether virtual reality (VR) can help people with vaginismus, a condition where pelvic floor muscles tighten involuntarily, making vaginal penetration painful or impossible. The idea is that gradual VR exposure to feared situations may reduce the phobic response. Researchers will recruit 20 participants to try VR exercises and track changes in ease of insertion and pain levels.
