Recommendations for the Study of Vulvar Pain in Women, Part 2: Methodological Challenges.
Authors
Abstract
Chronic vulvar pain is a multidimensional condition with great variability in clinical presentation among affected women. In a companion article, part 1, we reviewed and recommended assessment and measurement tools for vulvar pain and related outcomes with a view toward improving consistency and comparison across studies. Yet methodological challenges to conducting research with this population remain and can further hinder conclusions regarding etiology and treatment.
