Does a Virtual Program for Pelvic Pain Improve Pain and Sexual Outcomes in Individuals With Provoked Vestibulodynia?

The program offers a multimodal approach to self-guided treatment for PVD. Its multimodal approach is exemplified by pain education focusing on pelvic health and neuroplasticity to provide the foundation for strategies strengthening the mind-body connection to the pelvis; mindful breathing and relaxation exercises to reduce nervous system overactivation and enhance mood; and gradual progression of exercises encouraging awareness, stretching, and strengthening to promote relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles and reduction of accessory muscle tension resulting from protective guarding. The program uses 3 separate yet interconnected modules: Learn (20 modules of pain science education and skills), Rewire (11 modules featuring mindfulness and relaxation), and Move (45 pelvic and other exercises).
