Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Participants will be randomized in to 'immediate treatment' or 'waitlist control'. Women in the wait-list condition will receive the 4-session IMPROVED treatment, just as women randomized to the experimental group, after the end of their wait-list period.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Immediate treatment

Women in the Immediate treatment arm will receive the Group Psychoeducational treatment in the next available group. There will be 8-9 womenper group and each session will be 2.25 hours in duration and there will be 4, bi-weekly sessions over the course of 2 months.

Session content includes education about chronic pain, PVD, stress and sexual response, mindfulness practices, and cognitive techniques to notice thought patterns that contribute to increased pain.

Participants in the Waitlist Control Condition will receive this treatment at the end of the waitlist period (approximately 8 weeks)

Waitlist Control- delayed treatment

Women in the Waitlist Control arm will receive no treatment for a period of approximately 8 weeks. After the waitlist period they will receive the same Group Psychoeducational treatment as the participants in the immediate treatment arm of the study.
