Study of Maca Root to Treat Sexual Dysfunction Associated With the Treatment Regimen for Bipolar Disorder in Females

Bipolar Disorder Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study of Maca Root for the Treatment of Sexual Dysfunction Associated With the Treatment Regimen for Bipolar Disorder in Females

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to find out whether Maca Root is effective for treating sexual dysfunction in females that is caused by the treatment for bipolar disorder. An additional aim of the study is to document the safety and tolerability of maca root, as well as any potential side effects that it causes. We suspect that Maca Root will result in a significant reduction in sexual dysfunction when compared to a placebo group.

Clinical Trial Description

The study seeks to enroll 80 patients with sexual dysfunction associated with their bipolar medication regimen over 24 months. Subjects were outpatient females between 18 and 80 years old with no significant symptoms of mania (Young Mania Rating Scale score<10), and who have been on a steady regimen of medications to treat bipolar disorder for at least 8 weeks, with a stable dose for at least 4 weeks. Subjects will be randomly assigned in a double blind manner to receive 3000 mg/day of maca root or identical placebo for 12 weeks to determine whether maca root is more effective than placebo for the treatment of sexual dysfunction associated with treatment regimens for bipolar disorder. ;
