Active clinical trials for "Vaginismus"

This is a prospective observational study of transperineal ultrasound between 24-42 weeks gestation and a prospective longitudinal observational study in all term (37-42 weeks) labouring women.

Evaluation of sexual functioning of patients at the Sexual Medical Center, at Sheba Medical Center in Israel. Sexual functioning shall be compared with their dental behavior. Hypothesis: a positive association will be found.

The study aims to develop a theoretical model explicating the inter-relationships between Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA), Partial Vaginismus (PV) and Labor Dystocia (LD), including their associations with Depression (D) as a mediating variable. The following research hypotheses will be tested: CSA will serve as a risk factor for D, PV and LD. pregnant women with a history of CSA will have higher levels of D compared to pregnant women without a history of CSA. pregnant women with a history of CSA will have more PV compared to pregnant women without a history of CSA. pregnant women with a history of CSA will have higher levels of LD compared to pregnant women without a history of CSA. D will serve as a mediator between prenatal PV and LD. PV will serve as a risk factor for LD. postpartum PV will be affected by childbirth (LD vs. no LD) contingent on the level of D.
