Active clinical trials for "Sexual Dysfunctions, Psychological"

This study is designed to evaluate efficacy and safety of a testosterone patch as treatment for low libido in surgically menopausal women who are taking estrogen therapy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 100 mg sildenafil on clitoral engorgement in pre-menopausal women, as well as examining the safety and toleration of the drug.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study of the safety and efficacy of LibiGel 300mcg in the treatment of HSDD in surgically menopausal women.

To estimate the duration of efficacy with continued treatment of double-blind flibanserin or placebo over twenty-four weeks of treatment.

The success of sildenafil in the treatment of erectile dysfunction has led to efforts to find similar treatments for prevalent disorders of female sexual dysfunction. Daily transdermal testosterone has been shown to improve sexual function in women after oophorectomy (Shifren et al, Transdermal testosterone treatment in women with impaired sexual function after oophorectomy, New England Journal of Medicine, 343; 682-8, 2000). In laboratory measures of sexual arousal, a single application of transdermal testosterone enhanced vaginal blood and increased erotic fantasy in normal volunteer women in the laboratory setting, four hours after application (Tuiten et al, Can sublingual testosterone increase subjective and physiological measures of laboratory-induced sexual arousal?, Arch Gen Psychiatry, 59;465,2002). We therefore planned a study of transdermal testosterone (25mg) marketed as Androgel in female hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Patients are recruited from the sexology clinics at Soroka Hospital and the Beersheva Mental Health Center. They are randomized to Androgel or placebo and given 10 packets and instructed on application to the abdomen and shoulders, four hours before planned intercourse. Patients unable to discuss planned intercourse with their partner are offered psychosexual counseling and those still unable after three sessions are excluded. After one month patients on active Androgel are crossed over to placebo or vice versa. Patients self-rate sexual response after each intercourse using the Brief Index of Sexual Functioning for Women, and Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX)-Female and are rated in interview at the end of each month of treatment using the Sexual Function Questionnaire (SFQ-V1). Our prn technique avoids the androgenizing side effects of continuous daily treatment.

Aim #1. To investigate the efficacy of the psychoeducational intervention (PED) on sexual arousal. H1: Compared to a control group and to baseline, PED will result in significant improvement in: self-reported subjective sexual arousal; self-reported genital sensitivity; psychophysiological sexual arousal. Aim #2. To investigate the efficacy of the PED on self-reported orgasm, sexual desire, distress, and relationship satisfaction. H2: Compared to a control group and to baseline, PED will result in significant improvement in self-reported orgasmic experience, sexual desire, sexual distress, and relationship satisfaction. Aim #3. To investigate the efficacy of the PED on depressive symptoms and quality of life. H3: Compared to a control group and to baseline, PED will result in significant improvement in self-reported depressive symptoms and quality of life.

Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) is the most prevalent female sexual dysfunction in society and is strongly linked to the quality of life of women. The androgen hormones decline over age in the premenopausal period, which occurs around 20 years. Tribulus terrestris is a plant native to India, recommended in the treatment of infertility, low libido and impotence. Its main active ingredient is the protodioscin, which has been attributed to an increase in testosterone levels and improved sexual function. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of Tribulus Terrestris in premenopausal women with HSDD.

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-finding study to investigate the safety and efficacy of Lybridos in the domestic setting in healthy female subjects with hypoactive sexual desire disorder and maladaptive activity of sexual inhibitory mechanisms. This is a 2-arm placebo and Lybridos (0.5 mg testosterone + buspirone 10 mg) extension to study EB90 (Clinical Study Protocol EB90a, version 3.0, 07 June 2013). In the present study, the efficacy of Lybridos will be evaluated in the domestic setting in healthy female subjects with HSDD and maladaptive activity of sexual inhibitory mechanism(s). Sexual satisfaction and other aspects of sexual functioning will be measured within 24 hours after each sexual activity. The following hypotheses will be tested: Lybridos, as compared to placebo, will significantly increase the number of satisfying sexual events. Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of Lybridos as compared to placebo in increasing the number of satisfactory sexual episodes in healthy female subjects with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) and maladaptive activity of sexual inhibitory mechanisms To identify the optimal dose of Lybridos to take into phase 3 clinical development To confirm that Lybridos has superior efficacy as compared to testosterone alone and to buspirone alone To evaluate the effect of Lybridos as measured by scales of sexual satisfaction and/or sexual desire/arousal To evaluate the safety profile of Lybridos

The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the effects of 3 dose strengths of TBS-2 intranasal testosterone gel to placebo on the occurrence of orgasm.

The Lybrido study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study with a 4-week baseline establishment period, 16 week treatment period and a follow up period for a total of 26 weeks on study. Subjects are randomly to one of seven treatment arms. The study investigates the effective dose of Lybrido in increasing the number of satisfactory sexual episodes in the domestic setting in 210 healthy female subjects with hypoactive sexual desire disorder and low sensitivity for sexual cues (30 subjects per group).
