Study on vaginismus treatment with botulinum injections
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests botulinum injections for women with primary vaginismus, a condition where pelvic muscles tighten, making intercourse very difficult or impossible. The goal is to see if the injection can relax these muscles and help with sexual function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with primary vaginismus (the muscle tightening started with your first attempts at intercourse).
