Antidepressants have negative effects on genital arousal function that hinder quality of life and jeopardize medication adherence. Moderate sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation through exercise has shown promising results for improving antidepressant-induced genital arousal dysfunction. It is feasible that caffeine - an SNS stimulant - could improve antidepressant-induced genital arousal difficulties if ingested prior to sex. The goal of the present pilot study is to examine whether the acute administration of 300mg of caffeine increases genital arousal in women experiencing antidepressant-induced genital arousal difficulties. Women will attend two counterbalanced sessions in which they ingest either 300mg caffeine or placebo. Fifteen minutes after ingestion, they will view an erotic film while their heart rate and genital sexual arousal are measured. Caffeine could serve as a low-cost, widely accessible intervention with minimal side effects if efficacy is shown.
This study is looking to minimize side effects, while maintaining and potentially improving the therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from Female Sexual Arousal Disorder by providing a topical preparation of Sildenafil locally to the vulvar-vaginal tissue.
This clinical Trial will assess the effects of a dietary supplement based on Tribulus terrestris on the libido and sexual function in postmenopausal women, by doing a follow up of the FSFI scale and different variables during 3 months period. Participants will be allocated to dietary supplement or placebo, and will attend to 3 visits (baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks and at 24 weeks optional).
This study will evaluate the use of topical 5 or 10% sinecatechins, a botanical drug derived from green tea for the alleviation of sexual pain in the area around the vaginal opening (the vulvar vestibule), that is a main source of pain during sexual contact or dyspareunia, in postmenopausal women, with vulvovaginal atrophy. Women may or may not be using estrogens. Half of the women will receive the study drug, 5 or 10% sinecatechins and half will receive placebo. In addition to the reduction or elimination of pain upon penetration, women may also experience increase in lubrication, arousal and intensity of orgasm
Low resting heart rate variability (HRV) has been associated with sexual arousal problems and overall sexual dysfunction in women. Research has indicated that HRV biofeedback leads to increases in HRV as well as improvements in symptoms associated with several psychological disorders, some of which are comorbid with sexual arousal problems in women. Autogenic training also facilitates increases in HRV and was recently associated with acute increases in sexual arousal among sexually healthy women. The primary aim of the current study is to examine the efficacy of HRV biofeedback, with and without autogenic training, for the treatment of female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD).
This study is designed to help us better understand the factors that affect the sexual lives of women who have been sexually mistreated during childhood. With this study we hope to learn about factors that may be promising targets for future treatments of sexual problems related to past sexual experiences. The investigators hypothesize that women who have experienced early sexual abuse are more likely to have sexual problems in adulthood than women who were not abuse in childhood.
This trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3 fixed dose levels of bremelanotide, administered subcutaneously on an as-needed basis under conditions of home use, for the treatment of female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD), hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), or mixed FSAD/HSDD in premenopausal women.
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.
Female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) is a frequent finding in women in middle age and more prevalent in post-menopausal women. Topical alprostadil is currently under development for the treatment of FSAD. The purpose of this research is to determine if this formula of alprostadil is safe and effective in women with FSAD. We will be comparing alprostadil to placebo. Each participant will be treated for 1 month with active alprostadil and 1 month with placebo without knowing which they are using. This way, the investigators can compare the effects of alprostadil to the effects of an inactive topical gel. Post-menopausal women with FSAD will be recruited. The women interested in participating in the study will first meet with investigators and answer questions to make sure they are eligible for the study and fit the diagnosis of FSAD. Once enrolled, subjects will fill out questionnaires about their medical history, social history, and psychosocial history. They will also undergo medical examination. At this introductory research visit they will fill out baseline questionnaires, give medical history, undergo physical exam and have blood drawn. The informed consent will be reviewed and will be signed by the participant at this time. The subject will then return for the 1st treatment visit at which time vital signs like blood pressure and heart rate will be taken, external genitalia will be examined and study drug will be dispensed after randomly being assigned to either alprostadil or placebo. After instruction, the subject will use first dose in the clinic and be monitored for 2 hours looking for changes in vital signs or local genitalia reaction. If no problems are noted, subject will be sent home with study drug and Female Sexual Encounter Profile Cards (FSEP). The patient will fill out these cards with each sexual encounter. After 1 week patient will be contacted by phone and asked about side effects or concerns. After 4 weeks the subject will return for another study visit at which time FSEP cards and left over study drug will be collected, questionnaires will be filled out, labs will be drawn and subject will undergo exam of external genitalia. The subject will then be sent home for a 2 week washout period. The subject will return after this 2 week period with no study medication; she will then return and the above process will be repeated with either alprostadil or placebo (whichever she did not receive the first time).
