University of Ottawa

Researchers at the University of Ottawa are looking for women with vaginismus or provoked vestibulodynia (aka vulvar vestibulitis syndrome) to complete a questionnaire study on sexual health. Women between the ages of 18 and 44 who have always had difficulty with vaginal penetration or have had pain during half of all intercourse attempts are invited to participate in this research project.

Participation involves completing a set of questionnaires at home and sending them anonymously to the Human Sexuality Research Laboratory at the University of Ottawa.
