Official Title: Effect Of Menstrual Cycle On Vaginal Blood Flow (As Determined By The Heat Wash-Out Technique) Before, During And After Visual Sexual Stimulation In Pre-Menopausal Healthy Women.

Brief Summary: The Pfizer developed Heat Wash-Out (HWO) system is a software controlled electromechanical system designed to measure vaginal wall blood flow. A small vaginal probe is attached to a control unit. Output data is collected on a PC. By measuring the clearance of heat from the heated probe, a direct measure of absolute blood flow can be obtained. The study will assess changes in vaginal blood flow across the menstrual cycle following visual sexual stimulation.

Detailed Summary: Medical Device Development
Sponsor: Pfizer

Current Primary Outcome:

  • To investigate differences in vaginal blood flow across the menstrual cycle following visual sexual stimulation. [ Time Frame: 28d ]
  • To assess the safety and toleration of the heat washout device. [ Time Frame: 28d ]


Original Primary Outcome: To investigate differences in vaginal blood flow across the menstrual cycle following visual sexual stimulation. To assess the safety and toleration of the heat washout device.

Current Secondary Outcome: To investigate changes in subjective acute sexual arousal following visual sexual stimulation across the menstrual cycle. [ Time Frame: 28d ]

Original Secondary Outcome: To investigate changes in subjective acute sexual arousal following visual sexual stimulation across the menstrual cycle.
