Evidence-based studies are needed to better understand this complaint and to discuss its treatment options. Thus, we present a study protocol to compare the effect of radiofrequency and pelvic floor muscle training in the treatment of women with complaints of vaginal laxity. <h4>Methods/Design</h4> This is a prospective, parallel-group, two-arm, randomized clinical trial (Registry: RBR-2zdvfp–REBEC). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups of intervention (Radiofrequency or Pelvic Floor Muscle Training). The study will be performed in the Urogynecology outpatient clinic and in the physiotherapy outpatient clinic at the State University of Campinas–UNICAMP and will include women aged ≥ 18 years and with self-reported complaints of vaginal laxity. Participants will be assessed at baseline (pre-intervention period) and will be followed up in two periods: first follow-up (30 days after intervention) and second follow-up (six months after intervention). <h4>Expected results</h4> The results of this randomized clinical trial will have a positive impact on the participants’ quality of life, as well as add value to the development of treatment options for women with complaints of vaginal laxity. <h4>Trial registration</h4> Registry: RBR-2zdvfp–Registro Brasileiro de Ensaios Clínicos–REBEC (19/02/2020).Gláucia Miranda Varella PereiraCássia Raquel Teatin JuliatoCristiane Martins de AlmeidaKleber Cursino de AndradeJúlia Ferreira FanteNatália MartinhoRodrigo Menezes JalesMarcela Ponzio Pinto e SilvaLuiz Gustavo Oliveira BritoPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 11 (2021)
