Clinical Trial Summary

The overall aim of this research is to adapt and pilot test a multi-component, mindfulness-based behavioral intervention for women age 50 and older with low sexual desire.


Description:

Specifically, the investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the intervention. Fifty women will be randomized to the mindfulness intervention or an educational control group. Both groups will be conducted in 3 sessions over 6 weeks in groups of 10 women. Feasibility, acceptability, facilitators, and barriers will be assessed by surveys after each session and after intervention completion. Preliminary efficacy will be assessed by measures of sexual desire, sexual function, and overall sexual satisfaction at 6 and 12 weeks.
