Research projects for Kiernan

[Guest guest]

Dear Kiernan,

Here you go! Research YOU CAN do. From the fall issue of the NVA

newsletter. Researchers at s Hopkins University are looking for volunteers

to take part in a 3-4 month study concerning pain perception. You don't have

top live near s Hopkins to be a subject in the study. Correspondence is

done by mail or phone. The criteria for qualifying to be in the study

are...you have to be between the ages of 18-45, currently menstruating, not

pregnant, been diagnosed with either vulvar vestibulitis or essential

vulvodynia for at least 6 months, If your using birth control medication

that's a plus.

I also know these same people are doing research into cyclic pain in

women with either VV or essential vulvodynia. The only different criteria are

you CAN NOT be on birth control medication.

Contact at Blaustein Pain Center, s Hopkins Hospital

at or by e mail clsander@...

Also from the same issue of the NVA news........

A survey to evaluate whether vulvodynia has a hereditary component is being

done by two doctors. They need women with and without close female relatives

with vulvodynia to help determine future courses of research. The doctors can

be reached at........

I contacted in reference to this and she got back to me

right away. I would urge anyone who's *at the end of their rope* with

this condition to contact her about participating in the study.
