Virtual Reality Exposure for Vaginismus: A Replicated Single-Case Design

Vaginismus is a sexual dysfunction characterized by involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor muscles, preventing vaginal intercourse. It is defined by an intense fear of vaginal penetration, leading to persistent difficulties with vaginal intercourse and gynaecological exams. Psychological factors play a significant role in vaginismus. If the pelvic floor muscle tightening represents a defensive reflex, then treatment using a gradual exposure to feared stimuli using virtual reality may lead to an extinction of the phobic response, and to amelioration of vaginismus. If effective, the use of virtual reality technology can directly improve clinical care offered to those suffering from vaginismus.

VIBRating vs Traditional Therapy for Treatment of ENTry Dyspareunia

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine whether the use of a novel vibrating pelvic floor therapeutic device ("Kiwi") improves sexual function in sexually active women aged 18 and older with genito-pelvic pain and penetration disorder (GPPPD) more effectively than traditional vaginal dilators. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the use of the Kiwi device lead to higher sexual function scores compared to traditional vaginal dilators 2. Does the Kiwi device improve sexual distress, pain, and overall symptom severity more effectively than traditional vaginal dilators? Researchers will compare the Kiwi vibrating device to traditional cylindrical vaginal dilators to assess whether the Kiwi device results in greater improvements in sexual function and symptom relief. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to use either the Kiwi device or traditional vaginal dilators. * Use the assigned device three times per week for 15 minutes per session over four weeks. * Complete surveys before and after the study, including assessments of sexual function, pain, and overall improvement.

Prospective on Market Patient-reported Outcomes for Milli

Hydration and Acceptability of the Genital and Skin Mucosa of a Vaginal Moisturizer in Menopausal Women

Hyaluronic Acid is indicated for the relief of vaginal dryness, itching, and irritation, or the reduction of vaginal lubrication with prolonged hydration effects for up to 72 hours. Hyaluronic Acid promotes vaginal moisture, providing symptom relief in various situations such as: * Vaginismus and other sexual dysfunctions related to penetration * Users of hormonal contraceptives with lubrication loss * Postpartum and lactational period * Post antibacterial or antifungal therapies * During systemic oncological treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy) * Climacteric (urogenital atrophy) * Post urogynecological surgeries (correction of urinary incontinence, genital dystopias, etc.) * Post vulvovaginal abrasive, chemical, laser, or high-frequency therapies * Post cosmetic and genital rejuvenation therapies

Effect of Adding Interferential Current to Pelvic Floor Muscle Training on Vaginismus

This study aims to determine the effect of adding interferential current to pelvic floor muscle training on vaginismus.
