Abstract

Background: Treating and changing patterns of low sexual desire and dysfunctions can be done in various ways. However, it is important to recognize the value of integrated approaches when it comes to addressing these issues. To this end, we conducted a randomized clinical trial study to compare the effectiveness of an integrated approach with that of Masters-Johnson Sex Therapy (MJST) for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in Iranian couples from Mar 2016 to May 2018.

Methods: We conducted a clinical trial on 24 couples who were experiencing HSDD. The couples were randomly divided into two groups. The intervention group was given an integrative approach, while the control group received MJST for ten sessions. We collected data using standard questionnaires before, immediately after, and eight weeks after the intervention.

Results: There was no significant difference in sexual desire and function among men between the MJST and integrative approach groups. However, women in the integrative approach group showed more improvement in sexual desire and dysfunction compared to those in the MJST group. The improvement in sexual function for women and sexual desire for both men and women were maintained at the eight-week follow-up in the integrative approach.

Conclusion: Our study found that using an integrative approach effectively treated HSDD in couples.

评估改善夫妻性欲障碍的综合方法：随机临床试验研究。

背景：治疗和改变性欲低下和性功能障碍的模式有多种方法。然而，重要的是要认识到综合方法在解决这些问题方面的价值。为此，我们开展了一项随机临床试验研究，比较 2016 年 3 月至 2018 年 5 月期间综合方法与 Masters-Johnson 性疗法（MJST）治疗伊朗夫妇性欲低下障碍（HSDD）的效果：我们对 24 对患有 HSDD 的夫妇进行了临床试验。这些夫妇被随机分为两组。干预组采用综合方法，而对照组则接受为期十次的 MJST 治疗。我们使用标准问卷收集了干预前、干预后和干预八周后的数据：结果：MJST 组和综合疗法组的男性在性欲和性功能方面没有明显差异。然而，综合方法组的女性在性欲和性功能障碍方面的改善程度要高于 "茉莉花疗法 "组。在为期八周的随访中，女性性功能的改善以及男性和女性性欲的改善在综合治疗法组中得以保持：我们的研究发现，采用综合疗法能有效治疗夫妻间的 HSDD。
