The Clinical Journal of Pain, 06/22/09
Desrochers G et al. - The results of regression analyses revealed that higher catastrophizing, fear of pain, and hypervigilance in addition to lower self-efficacy together accounted for 15% of the variation in increased intercourse pain intensity. Among these, only catastrophizing contributed unique variance to intercourse pain. Results also showed that higher state anxiety and fear of pain (escape/avoidance) and also lower self-efficacy explained 22% of the variation in women's sexual impairment. However, only self-efficacy was found to be an independent correlate of sexual impairment. Findings support a theoretical model of vestibulodynia as a pain disorder influenced among others by cognitive and affective factors.
