Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn more about Mindfulness based Group Cognitive Behavior Therapy (M-gCBT) as a treatment for Provoked Localized Vulvodynia (PLV). M-gCBT is a counseling technique that has been shown to reduce pain and anxiety with other medical conditions, including chronic pain conditions.
