Randomized (1:1), double-blind, sham-controlled, 2-arm parallel study comparing effectiveness and safety of non-hormonal medical device versus sham device to treat VVA in post-menopausal women.
After screening and baseline assessment, participants, ages 21 to 65 years of age, will be randomized and followed for a 12-week intervention period. After the primary endpoint evaluation at week 12, each participant in both arms will immediately commence an open label period using an Active device for week 13 to 1 year to collect further effectiveness and safety data.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Clinician Assessed Changes in VVA | Will determine by comparing the mean change between the two arms of the study in clinician assessed changes of VVA by the Vaginal Health Index (VHI). The VHI gives a numerical score (1-5) for each of the 5 parameters measured: issue elasticity, vaginal fluid, PH, mucosa, and vaginal moisture. | Baseline to 12 weeks |
| Patient Reported VAS Score | Mean change in the Vaginal Assessment Scale (VAS). The VAS is a scale from 0 to 3 with 0 being no symptoms and 3 being severe symptoms. | Baseline to 12 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Responder Rate PGI-I | The proportion of patients in the two arms of the study achieving improvement in the patient global impression of improvement (PGI-I), (much or very much improved) at 12 weeks post-treatment. | 12 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Adverse Events | Adverse event grading will be done according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE) | 1 year |
| Patient Satisfaction with Treatment: Likert Scale |
