ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding and managing a condition called superficial dyspareunia, which refers to pain that some women experience during sexual intercourse. This type of pain can be quite distressing and affects a significant number of women, leading to both physical discomfort and emotional challenges. The goal of the study is to explore better ways to help women who have this condition, ensuring they receive the care and support they need.

To participate in this trial, women must be at least 18 years old and have experienced ongoing pain during vaginal penetration. This includes pain at the entrance of the vagina or during the initial stages of penetration with a partner, fingers, or sex toys. Unfortunately, younger women, those under legal care, or those who choose not to participate won't be eligible. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but once it starts, women involved can expect to contribute to a better understanding of this issue, which could lead to improved treatments in the future.
