Psychosocial Factors in Vulvodynia
Abstract
Historically, psychosocial factors in vulvodynia have been neglected in comparison to biomedical contributors, despite widespread acknowledgment that pain of all kinds including vulvodynia is biopsychosocial in nature. The authors have proposed the Interpersonal emotion regulation model of women's sexual dysfunction for conceptualizing the contribution of interpersonal factors to vulvodynia. The model suggests that interpersonal factors acting at the distal level (i.e. traits or predisposing aspects of the relationship) and the proximal level (i.e. what occurs before, during, and immediately following painful sexual activities) influence couples’ emotion regulation relating to the pain, and in turn women's pain and couples’ adjustment. Robust evidence stemming from a large body of intraindividual and dyadic cross-sectional, daily diary, observational, and longitudinal studies points toward the involvement of psychosocial factors in vulvodynia and associated psychological, relational and sexual difficulties.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
