Graded Motor Imagery in Women Diagnosed With Genito-Pelvic Pain Penetration Disorder. A Randomized Controlled Trial
Graded Motor Imagery in Women Diagnosed With Genito-Pelvic Pain Penetration Disorder. A Randomized Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects of a Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) programme in women diagnosed with Genito-Pelvic Pain Penetration (GPPD) Disorder.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does a GMI programme reduce pain intensity levels in women diagnosed with GPPPD? Does a GMI programme have an effect on sexual function in women diagnosed with GPPPD?
Participants will undergo a GMI programme and will be tested prior to and after the intervention to assess if the programme has a significant effect with regards to pain intensity and other pain-related outcome
Graded Motor Imagery has been extensively used in several populations suffering pain-related disorders. It triggers cortical stimulation gradually in order to have an effect on the alterations that might have occured due to pain
Women suffering from Genito-Pelvic Pain Penetration Disorder deal with persistent pelvic pain that is no longer responding to a noxious stimulus, therefore this clinical presentation could have several cortical alterations implicated.
The main goal of this study is to assess if a Graded Motor Imagery programme is able to reduce pain intensity and improve sexual function in women diagnosed with Genito-Pelvic Pain Penetration Disorder.
