106 Online Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Group Program for Women with Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder: A Descriptive Feasibility Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) is a highly distressing, and poorly understood condition characterized by physiological genital arousal (i.e., genital sensitivity and/or vascongestion) in the absence of subjective sexual desire. Currently there are no empirically-informed treatment options available to this population, despite the significant negative impact of the condition (Jackowich, Pink, Gordon, Poirier & Pukall, 2018). Few healthcare providers are knowledgeable about PGAD, making it challenging for individuals with PGAD to receive information and care. To determine the feasibility of an adapted physical therapy group educational program for vulvar pain conditions, to the specific needs of women with PGAD, in an online group format. Ethical approval was provided by [MASKED] University. A descriptive approach was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of this group. A total of 12 women participated in the study (average age = 43.4 years, SD = 18.3, Range = 18-71). Phone screenings were conducted to confirm that individuals experienced PGAD (defined by its clinical presentation: Leiblum & Nathan, 2001). Women completed questionnaires prior to, immediately following, and 6-months following the group sessions. Participants also completed an anonymous feedback form. The group sessions were run by a registered physical therapist specializing in pain and pelvic floor health.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
