Join the POMPOM Clinical Study and Share Your Milli Experience

By participating in this study, you will be contributing valuable research that will help clinicians learn more about how to help women with vaginismus and associated painful sex. Your contribution is a meaningful step towards a better future for those facing these challenges.

We are confidentially and remotely collecting data with questionnaires to track changes in these key dimensions: pain, sexual and emotional well-being, Milli Vaginal Dilator satisfaction, and usage (frequency, time, vibration).

This study will not require in-person office visits—we call these “Virtual Visits.” We will provide you with access to a study clinician when requested. All questionnaires will be sent via email with a link to complete electronically. Here’s what you can expect from the POMPOM study:

1

POMPOM study consent

  • If you want to join the POMPOM study, electronically sign the consent form.
  • If you have any questions about the study or the consent form, we will connect you with a study clinician for further explanation.

Compensation: For your the timely completion of each of the 3 questionnaire sets—baseline, 3-month (checkpoint), and 6-month (exit)—we will issue $100 Amazon Gift Cards for a potential total of $300.

Between the above intervals, we will send an email touchpoint confirming that you wish to continue participating in the study. Those touchpoints also allow you to speak to a study clinician or exit the study with a final set of questionnaires.
