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. Twenty participants will use VR to gradually face feared situations, aiming to reduce fear and improve ease of insertion. The goal is to see if this approach can ease symptoms without drugs or surgery.
