The National Vulvodynia Association is a non-profit organization

About the NVA
Founded in 1994 by a small group of patients, the NVA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of women with vulvodynia. NVA has established a number of programs and services including:

Educational Resources
The NVA maintains online learning programs for patients and health care providers (http://learn.nva.org), and disseminates newsletters that will keep you up-to-date on the latest vulvodynia research findings and treatments. Our newsletter also contains valuable articles on emotional and sexual issues related to vulvodynia. Support Services
Women and that speaking to others who have vulvodynia is both a good source of information and the best way to overcome the emotional isolation that often accompanies this disorder. To facilitate this, the NVA oversees a support network across the US and some foreign countries. Health Care Provider Referrals
The NVA maintains a database of health care providers who are knowledgeable about the diagnosis and treatment of chronic vulvar pain disorders. Research Funding
The NVA directly funds pilot research studies and collaborates with members of Congress and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to promote increased federal funding of vulvodynia research.
