Health economic evaluation of a randomized controlled trial (EMBLA study), an internet-based treatment for provoked vulvodynia
Internet-based treatment (IBT) for provoked vulvodynia (PVD) may reduce pain during intercourse and increases pain acceptance. However, a there is still a knowledge gap regarding the cost-effectiveness of IBT for PVD. The aim of this study was to perform a health economic evaluation of guided intern...

description | Internet-based treatment (IBT) for provoked vulvodynia (PVD) may reduce pain during intercourse and increases pain acceptance. However, a there is still a knowledge gap regarding the cost-effectiveness of IBT for PVD. The aim of this study was to perform a health economic evaluation of guided internet-based intervention for PVD as an addition to standard treatment. The sample consisted of 99 women with a PVD diagnosis. Healthcare related costs, health-related quality of life, and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) were analyzed. After the IBT, the intervention group had fewer visits to a midwife than the control group (p = 0.03), but no between-group differences were found for visits to other professionals, treatment length, health-related quality of life, QALYs, and costs for treatment. It was estimated a cost of 260.77 € for a clinical meaningful change in pain acceptance. Internet-based treatment as add-on to clinical treatment may lower number of visits to a healthcare. |
