Background summary
On basis of clinical impression there seem to exist two distinct groups of
women wityh sexual pain disorders (i.e., dyspareunia and vaginismus). One group
consists of woman who continue to have intercourse and other pain-inducing
(sexual) activities despite their pain (task-persistence), whereas the other
group avoids all sexual activities, including non-pain inducing behaviors (fear
avoidance). Task-persistence as well as fear avoidance are coined inadequate
pain behavior.
Study objective
By revealing mechanisms for task-persistence and fear-avoidance we expect to be
able to improve psycho-sexual treatment of women with sexual pain disorders.
Study design
Results of three groups of woman are compared: woman who suffer from
dyspareunia, woman who suffer from vaginismus, and woman without sexual
complaints. All woman will be asked to fill out questionnaires. Also, partners
of woman with dyspareunia and partners of woman with vaginismus are requested
to fill out a questionnaire.
Study burden and risks
The burden for participants is minimal and we do not expect risks.
