Summary

Randomized controlled trial designed to determine whether acupuncture is an effective treatment for vestibulitis.

Conditions

  • Vestibulodynia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Acupuncture

Patients randomized to the study group received five sessions of acupuncture in a series of points in the lower abdomen, lower back, hands, and feet. This combination of acupoints is believed to impact on the genital area, raise the pain threshold, and counteract inflammation. Control group patients received five sessions of acupuncture at acupoints that are believed to have no influence on the genital area, but are believed to have a general sedative effect.
