Therapy to Prevent Sexual Pain in Menopausal Survivors of Breast Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Topical liquid lidocaine and Topical saline for Vulvodynia and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this protocol is to determine whether pain with sexual intercourse can be reduced in menopausal, breast cancer survivors and to evaluate the effectiveness of a non-hormonal therapy (Lidocaine Liquid) vs. a placebo liquid in reducing pain. The investigators hypothesize that the pain arises in the vulvar vestibule. The investigators predict that the localized use of lidocaine will be more efficacious than use of placebo liquid.
