Physical Therapy as Adjuvant Treatment of Vulvodynia: a Randomized Controled Trial

Effectiveness of the treatment for vulvodynia will be accessed through pain score scale from zero to ten, compared from day zero of treatment to day eight

Will be accessed through FSIF (Female Sexual Index Function questionnaire) score that goes from 2 to 36, compared from day zero of treatment to day eight, which indicates sexual disfunction pointed by scores below 26,55.

A 3D Ultrassound will be used to access these outcomes and compare changes from day zero to day eight of treatment

Vaginal fluid collected will be analysed in laboratory to access possible inflammatory response of vulva and vagina of women with vulvodynia obtained by comparing quantitatively interleukin 1-B presente before and after treatment
