NCT ID: NCT05909514 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Provoked Vestibulodynia

Investigating the Effectiveness of PelvicSense(R) on Pain and Sexual Outcomes in Provoked Vestibulodynia

Start date: February 25, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will examine the effectiveness of the PelvicSense 3-month online program on pain and other outcomes in those with provoked vestibulodynia. This study is prospective in nature and will involve several assessment points: baseline, immediately post-treatment (at the end of the 3 month program), and 3-month follow up. All aspects of the study will be conducted remotely (e.g., online, email, video calls), and participants will be at least 18 years of age, fluent in English, and experience pain due to provoked vestibulodynia for at least 3 months with a physician diagnosis. Participants are expected to continue their treatment as usual and this information will be documented throughout the study.

NCT ID: NCT05805696 Recruiting - Hyperhidrosis Clinical Trials

Treatment and Mapping of Impostor Phenomenon

Start date: May 15, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to evaluate persons/patients with different skin diseases or pain to evaluate whether unhealthy perfectionism, stress, anxiety, impostor phenomenon (inability to realistically assess your competence and skills) and lack of self-compassion (a positive attitude towards ourselves), have impact on symptoms, handling, and treatment regarding some dermatological diseases/pain.

NCT ID: NCT05797480 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Provoked Vestibulodynia

Dry Needling for Provoked Vestibulodynia

Start date: February 27, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a randomized and controlled study investigating the feasibility and acceptability of a dry needling treatment for women suffering from provoked vestibulodynia. Following their enrollment in the study, participants will undergo a gynecological examination for confirmation of their diagnoses of provoked vestibulodynia. Women diagnosed with provoked vestibulodynia will be randomized into the dry needling group or the sham-needle group. The dry needling group will receive 6 sessions of real dry needling for 6 consecutive weeks. The sham group will receive 6 sessions of sham needling for 6 consecutive weeks, using a validated sham-needle. Outcomes measures will be assessed at baseline and at post-treatment and will include: feasibility and acceptability variables, pain intensity and quality, pain during palpation and pressure pain threshold, psychosexual variables, perceived improvement and satisfaction after the treatment as well as pelvic floor muscle stiffness and function.

NCT ID: NCT05597358 Recruiting - Vulvodynia Clinical Trials

Efficacy of High Intensity Laser for Provoked Vestibulodynia

Laser_RCT
Start date: October 26, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigating the effects of laser treatments in women suffering from provoked vestibulodynia compared to a sham-laser treatment. Following their enrollment in the study, participants will undergo a gynecological examination for confirmation of their diagnoses. Eligible participants will then be asked to complete a consent form and the baseline assessment. The baseline assessment consists of the completion of validated questionnaires (outcome measures). Participants will be randomized into the laser group or sham-laser group. The laser group will receive 12 sessions of active high intensity laser therapy (HILT) (30 minutes biweekly for 6 consecutive weeks). The sham-laser group will receive 12 sessions (30 minutes biweekly for 6 consecutive weeks) of laser therapy using a deactivated probe. Outcome measures (validated questionnaires) will also be assessed 2 weeks post-treatment as well as 6 months post-treatment (follow-up assessment).

NCT ID: NCT04613713 Recruiting - Vulvodynia Clinical Trials

Somatocognitive Therapy in Treatment of Provoked (Localized) Vestibulodynia - Randomized Clinical Trial (ProLoVe Study)

ProLoVe
Start date: January 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a two-arm randomized clinical trial assessing effectiveness of somatocognitive therapy versus treatment as usual for provoked vestibulodynia (PVD). PVD is a common, but under-treated persistent pain condition, mostly affecting young women in their late teens and early 20s. It is the most frequent cause of pain during sexual intercourse affecting around 10% of women in the general population. There are no generally accepted evidence-based guidelines for the medical management of PVD. The most commonly used treatments are topical (85%), physiotherapy (52%), and oral medications (45%). High quality randomized clinical trials testing effectiveness of various therapy approaches are urgently needed. Somatocognitive therapy SCT is a multi-modal physiotherapy approach developed for alleviating musculoskeletal persistent pain conditions. SCT has been previously evaluated in the treatment of women with chronic pelvic pain. In the current study, 128 women with PVD will be randomized into SCT and treatment as usual (TAU) group. Participants will be assessed at baseline, after 6 months and after 12 months. The main outcome will be changes in female sexual function index scored at 12 months follow up. Secondary outcomes include pain intensity as assessed by a tampon test as well as a number of questionnaires recording different aspects of emotional and cognitive functioning. In addition cost-effectiveness analysis of SCT versus TAU will be performed. Participants in the SCT group will receive up to 15 therapy sessions and will additionally be offered one booster session at 6 months after treatment ending. TAU group will follow treatment options of their own choice based on recommendations from the Vulva clinic at Oslo University Hospital, a center that is specialized in treating women with vulvar pain conditions.

NCT ID: NCT03481621 Recruiting - Vulvodynia Clinical Trials

Effect of Two Acupuncture Protocols on Vulvodynia

Acu/Vul-pain
Start date: January 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Vulvodynia is a common condition in women (16%); however, at this time there is no known effective non-pharmacological therapy reported. Acupuncture is one complementary and alternative medicine therapy used by many patients with vulvodynia; some case reports show that acupuncture may be an effective intervention. In recent years, there were some studies registered took at like at actual trials of acupuncture on vulvodynia, but either they did not reach the trial aims, some studies did not get enough patients or the trial designs mimic drug studies and did not reflect acupuncture real characteristics. This study evaluates acupuncture for the treatment of vulvodynia; specifically, if it reduces vulvar pain, pain duration and pain with intercourse. It also examines how long the effect of acupuncture lasts in women with vulvodynia. One third of the women will receive acupuncture focused on pudendal nerve distribution area; another one third of the women will receive acupuncture focused on traditional meridian points; the other one third of women will use standard care (without acupuncture). Women who get a reduction in pain (included in subjective and objective scores) will have their pain monitored once a week for up to 6 weeks to see if the acupuncture effect lasts.

NCT ID: NCT00119886 Recruiting - Vulvar Vestibulitis Clinical Trials

Botox on Vulvar Vestibulitis

Start date: April 2005
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The study seeks to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin on vulvar vestibulitis (VVS) after local injection with Botox, a potential treatment to relieve patients of vulvar pain, reducing the need for painkillers, and improving the sexual quality of life of the patients.
