There is one clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of an association between Localized Provoked Vulvodynia (LPV) that is both severe and primary and polymorphic markers/single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in and around the genes encoding heparanase (HSPE-1), Vanilloid Receptor VR1 (TRPV1), and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF).
3. NGF gene: A novel T to C SNP in the promoter region at position -198 (rs11102930) and rs6330 which was found to be associated with anxiety-related personality traits and has been suggested to may affect intracellular processing and secretion of NGF.
Description: the possibility of an association between Localized Provoked Vulvodynia (LPV) that is both severe and primary and polymorphic markers/single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in and around the genes encoding heparanase (HSPE-1), Vanilloid Receptor VR1 (TRPV1), and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF).
Measure: Genetic association of Vulvodynia Time: four years
