First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether dry needling—a technique using fine needles to release muscle tension—can reduce pain during intercourse in women with provoked vestibulodynia, a condition causing sharp pain at the vaginal opening. About 170 women will receive either real or sham dry needling once a week for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure pain levels, sexual function, and quality of life right after treatment and again 6 months later.
