Light therapy for vulvodynia pain
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special light device (LED) applied to the vulvar area can reduce pain and discomfort from vulvodynia. If you have vulvodynia, this treatment might be a non-invasive way to help manage your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with vulvodynia (long-term pain or discomfort in the vulva area without a clear cause).
- You do not currently have a vaginal infection (like a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis).
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a chronic degenerative neurological disease (like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease).

This study looks at whether a four-session shock wave therapy treatment helps women with vulvodynia (chronic vulva pain). You're eligible if you've already started this treatment and want to help researchers understand how well it works.
This study tests whether biomodulation therapy combined with pelvic floor rehabilitation can help women with certain types of pelvic pain. It is for premenopausal women who were born female and are experiencing provoked vestibulodynia (pain at the vaginal opening) with or without vaginismus (tightness).
This study tests a low dose of naltrexone (a pill that may help reduce pain) for vulvodynia, a condition causing long-lasting pain in the vulvar area. It aims to see if this treatment can ease the pain and improve quality of life.
This trial compares two hormone creams for women with vulvodynia (chronic pain at the opening of the vagina). One group will use a cream with both testosterone and estrogen, and the other group will use a cream with estrogen alone, to see which better reduces pain during sex or tampon use.
This study uses advanced lab tests to better understand a type of vulvar pain called provoked vestibulodynia, which is pain only when the area is touched. Researchers hope to find new ways to diagnose it more accurately.
This study compares two ways of using light therapy (called photobiomodulation) to treat vaginal symptoms related to menopause, bacterial vaginosis, or yeast infections. One approach is done at home, the other at a clinic, to see which works better.
