文摘

Pain is a significant burden in Vulvodynia. Little research has examined biopsychosocial approaches pain in Vulvodynia. We studied the associations between cognitive-behaviour factors, distress and fatigue with pain severity and interference. Lower treatment control and illness identity and greater catastrophizing and distress, were associated with pain severity. Low treatment control beliefs, greater fatigue, distress, and avoidance behaviours were associated with pain interference.
