About this trial

Research aim: To determine how cannabidiol suppositories might reduce sexual pain during intimacy. Outcomes are also hoped to increase sexual functioning, well-being, and quality of life.

Research intention: If cannabidiol suppository intervention reduces sexual pain and increases general well-being, then this research would be repeated on a larger scale, targeting psychosexual services.

A brief overview of the intervention:

Quantitatively, randomisation of cannabidiol suppositories will be into dose-specific groups. The intervention will be delivered over a period of one month, with follow-up scheduled at 12 weeks. Qualitatively, participants were asked approximately eight open-ended feedback questions throughout the study.
