This randomized trial, nicknamed the COMFORT (Cognitive therapy or Mindfulness FOR Treatment of pvd) study, will compare the effects of an 8-session group Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to an 8-session group Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for women with provoked vestibulodynia (PVD). Women with PVD will be randomly assigned to attend either eight sessions of group MBCT or CBT. Each session is 2.25 hours long and spaced 1 week apart. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the 8-session MBCT intervention for PVD is no worse than an 8-session CBT intervention for decreasing women's pain intensity, sexual distress, catastrophizing and hypervigilance towards pain.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an 8-session MBCT intervention for PVD is no worse than an 8-session CBT intervention for improving women's pain intensity and reducing their sexual distress, catastrophizing and hypervigilance towards pain. The investigators will also examine whether pain improvements at follow-up are mediated by changes in self-compassion and mindfulness (in the MBCT arm only) and moderated by pre-treatment credibility, personality, and anxiety sensitivity.

| Change in Vulvslgesiometer Pain Rating From Baseline to One Month Post-treatment to 6 Months Post-treatment | The investigators have selected pain intensity during a controlled examination as the primary endpoint in this study. Specifically, pain intensity at the vulvar vestibule will be assessed using a vulvalgesiometer. The vulvalgesiometer is an instrument that provides a measure of pain/sensitivity that can be standardized across time points. The vulvalgesiometer is calibrated to exert a fixed amount of pressure. In this study, 30 grams of pressure at the 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11 o'clock positions (randomly) around the vestibule will be applied using the vulvalgestiometer. Women will also report their pain at each site using a numeric rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever). | Pre-treatment, one month post-treatment and 6 months post-treatment. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Self-reported Pain During Penetration | The investigators will measure self-report of pain during attempted or completed intercourse (or dildo entry for non-heterosexual women). Numeric Rating Scale that asked participants to rate the "intensity of pain during vaginal penetration attempts with sexual intercourse or penetration over the past 4 weeks" This question was rated on a 0 to 10 scale from no pain (0) to worst possible pain (10). |

| Pre-treatment,one month post-treatment, and 6 months follow-up. |
| Sexual Function | The investigators will examine women's self-reported sexual function by administering the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a 19-item self-report questionnaire which assesses sexual function in women. It covers six sexual domains: lubrication, arousal, desire, pain, orgasm and satisfaction. Scores range from 7.2 - 36 where increase in sexual dysfunction is represented by lower scores. Subscales: Desire- 2, 3 [Subscale scores Range: 1.2 - 6] Arousal- 5,6,7,8 [Subscale Scores Range: 1.2 - 6] Lubrication- 9,10,11,12 [Subscale Scores Range: 1.2 - 6] Orgasm- 13, 14, 15 [Subscale Scores Range: 1.2 - 6] Satisfaction- 1, 16, 17 [Subscale Scores Range: 1.2 - 6] Pain- 18, 19, 20 [Subscale Scores Range: 1.2 - 6] Extra item: (4) have you been sexually active in past 4 weeks? (yes/no) [Scores Range 0 (no) - 1 (yes)] Note: Ranges applicable only if question 4 was answered "yes". | Pre-treatment, one month post-treatment, and 6 months post-treatment. |
| Sexual Distress | The investigators will examine women's self-reported sexual distress by administering the Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised. This is a 12-item self-report questionnaire assessing for sexuality related personal distress. Scores on the scale range from 0 - 48, where higher scores represent higher levels of distress. | Pre-treatment, one month post-treatment, and 6 months post-treatment. |
| Pain Catastrophizing | The investigators will examine women's self-reported pain catastrophizing by administering the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) is a self-report questionnaire that asks participants to think about past painful experiences, or a specific experience of pain, and to indicate the degree to which they have any of the presented thoughts or feelings when they are experiencing pain. Each one of the 13-items is rated on a Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (all the time), where a higher total score indicates higher pain catastrophizing. Subscales: Rumination- (4 items) 8, 9, 10, and 11 [Scores Range: 0 - 16] Magnification- (3 items) 6, 7, and 13 [Scores Range: 0 - 12] Helplessness- (6 items) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 12 [Scores Range: 0 - 24] Sum of all items [Overall Range: 0 - 52] | Pre-treatment, one month post-treatment, and 6 months post-treatment.. |
| Pain Hypervigilance | The investigators will examine women's self-reported hypervigilance about pain by administering the Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire. The Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire (PVAQ) is a 16 item self-report measure to assess the awareness, vigilance, preoccupation and observation of pain. Sum total score [Scores Range: 0 - 80]. | Pre-treatment, one month post-treatment, and 6 months post treatment. |
| Chronic Pain Acceptance, Activities Engagement | The investigators will examine women's self-reported pain acceptance, activities engagement, by administering the CPAQ chronic pain acceptance questionnaire. The Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ) measures the degree of acceptance of pain by chronic pain patients. It consists of 20 items measuring two domains, Activities Engagement and Pain Willingness. Total score range is from 0 - 120, with higher scores indicating higher levels of pain acceptance. Subscales: Activities engagement (11 items)- Q 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 19 [Scores Range: 0 - 66] Pain willingness (9 items)- Q 4, 7, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20 [Scores Range: 0 - 54] | Pre-treatment, one month post-treatment, and 6 months post-treatment. |

The entire duration of the study up to 6 months post treatment.
Adverse event data was not collected; only reason for withdrawal. We interpreted risk as being due to a medication and this was a behavioral trial. We did not exclude participants with symptoms of anxiety or depression, and it is possible that those symptoms may have put participants at risk.
