Abstract

Existing therapies for vulvodynia are inadequate. Because vulvodynia has a pathophysiology similar to chronic pain, central nervous system dysfunction may underlie this painful disorder, and noninvasive methods of neuromodulation may prove highly effective. We report a case of severe, medically refractory vulvodynia that responded remarkably to treatment with transcranial direct current stimulation.
