Abstract
The effectiveness of hypnotherapy in alleviating pain has been demonstrated with several disorders and diseases involving acute and chronic pain. Although hypnosis has been suggested as treatment for dyspareunia resulting from vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (VVS), empirical data and case reports showing its effectiveness have been lacking. This article presents a case report on the use of hypnotherapy to treat a 26-year-old woman suffering from VVS. Psychotherapy consisted of twelve sessions, of which eight were devoted to hypnosis. The goal of hypnosis was to help the client decrease her anticipatory anxiety, create a positive association of pleasure with intercourse, and create a sense of control over her pain. Despite having persistent pain during intercourse for 3 years with several partners, she experienced no more pain following treatment, and remained pain free at a 12-month follow up.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
