Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Vulvodynia (Chronic Vulvar Pain), Vulvar Vestibulitis, Vestibulodynia, Provoked Vestibulodynia, Provoked Localized Vulvodynia

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a 3-month online pelvic health program works to improve pain and sexual wellbeing in adult women with chronic genital pain. The main research questions it aims to answer are: * How well does the program work to improve pain and sexual wellbeing? * How well does the program work to improve pain anxiety and pain interference? * How do participants rate their improvement after completing the program? * How satisfied are participants with the program? Researchers will compare participants who receive the program right away to those who wait for the program. Participants who receive the program right away will * Progress through the program at their own pace * Learn about pain science, do pelvic health exercises, and use information to be more mindful and less anxious about the pain * Answer questions about their pain experiences and sexual wellbeing before and after the 3-month program, as well as 3 months after the end of the program * Provide information about their experiences with the program and progress through the program during and after the program
