Survey
This short, one-time survey aims to help us better understand how vulvodynia relates to other chronic pain conditions. This survey is for women who have been diagnosed with vulvodynia by a health care provider. If you have yet to be diagnosed, please refrain from completing the survey.
Description: The NVA needs 100 more women to participate in our cost-of-illness study. Upon enrollment, you will receive a complimentary copy of NVA's self-help guide. After completing the survey, NVA will give you a complimentary one-year subscription to our newsletter. If you live in the US and have been diagnosed with either generalized vulvodynia or vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (aka provoked vestibulodynia), you are eligible to participate. The survey asks questions about lost work hours and out-of-pocket expenses related to having vulvodynia. NVA intends to use the survey results to convince Congress and the NIH that we need much more federally funded research on vulvodynia. Participation requires only 3 hours of your time over the next six months. With the use of an NVA-supplied calendar, you keep track of your vulvodynia-related expenses, such as prescription medications, doctor visits and over-the-counter remedies.
The National Vulvodynia Association (NVA) is an educational, nonprofit organization founded to disseminate information on vulvodynia. The NVA recommends that you consult your own health care practitioner to determine which course of treatment or medication is appropriate for you.
