View clinical trials related to Vulvodynia.
Filter by:The etiology of pain in women with IC is often difficult to identify resulting in unnecessary medical and surgical treatments (e.g. hysterectomies). The vulva may actually be the site of some of the reported pain in women with IC, not the urethra or bladder. IC and vulvodynia can impact one's sexual functioning and diminish one's quality of life. Unfortunately, vulvodynia is often unrecognized since it is not part of the usual urological assessment with IC patients. Vulvodynia is characterized by persistent generalized or localized vulvar pain of varying degrees often characterized as "burning," suggestive of a neuropathic pain response.
This study will evaluate the relative effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and supportive psychotherapy for the treatment of women with vulvodynia.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of two vaginal products compared with that of placebo to determine if the two products are better than placebo in the relief of vaginal discomfort.
This study is important in urologic nursing since many patients have interstitial cystitis (IC), a condition of frequency, urgency and pain affecting more than 1 million women in the United States. The vulva may actually be the site of some of the reported pain in women with IC, not the urethra or bladder. IC and vulvodynia can impact one's sexual functioning and diminish one's quality of life. The purpose of this two-part study is to identify and clinically confirm the presence of vulvodynia in women diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis (IC).
Hypothesis: to examine a possible association between localized vulvodynia and H. pylori infection.
