This study consisted of three groups: a lifelong vaginismus group (N = 35), a dyspareunia group (N = 33), and women without sexual complaints (N = 54).  The study found women with vaginismus showed significantly heightened levels of catastrophic pain cognitions compared with the other two groups.  This finding was  shown to have cumulative predictive validity for the presence of vaginismus and may be important in treatment offered.
