Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This research is a randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the influence of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy (CBT) on quality of life and sexual function of patients with sexual dysfunction. The notion of sexual health for the World Health Organization exceeds the concept of sickness absence, having a subjective well-being of significance in the spheres of self-concept, self-image, interpersonal relationships and sense of self worth. Furthermore, sexual satisfaction and relationship quality of life is also evidenced in many studies. CBT is a brief and focal psychotherapy with proven efficacy in several mental disorders, improving health and quality of life of the treated populations. However, they did not find clinical trials that showed the effectiveness of CBT in Sexual Dysfunctions. This study aims to then fill this gap by evaluating the relationship from the use of techniques of CBT.
