Sex therapy for female sexual dysfunction

【 文献重点摘要 】
Introduction
About 45% of women suffer from some form of sexual dysfunction. Despite its high prevalence, there are few studies that have systematically evaluated sex therapy in comparison with other interventions.
Objective
Review randomized clinical trials that present psychotherapeutic interventions for female sexual dysfunctions.
Method
Through a search in three databases (Medline, Web of Science and PsycInfo), 1419 references were found. After an analysis of the abstracts, twenty-seven articles met the inclusion criteria and composed this review.
Results
Sex therapy, as proposed by Masters and Johnson and Heiman and LoPiccolo, is still the most commonly used form of therapy for sexual dysfunctions; although it has shown results, the results do not consistently support that this is the best alternative in the treatment of sexual dysfunctions.
Conclusion
There is a lack of systematic study of many female sexual dysfunctions. Orgasmic disorder and sexual pain (vaginismus and dyspaurenia) are the most extensively studied disorders and those in which sex therapy seems to have better outcomes.

简介
大约45%的女性患有某种形式的性功能障碍。尽管性疗法的患病率很高,但很少有研究将其与其他干预措施相比较,对其进行系统的评价性治疗。
目的
回顾对女性性功能障碍进行心理治疗干预的随机临床试验。
方法
通过检索Medline、Web of Science和Mental INFO三个数据库,共检索到文献1419篇。经过对摘要的分析,有27篇文章符合纳入标准,撰写了这篇综述。
结果
马斯特斯和约翰逊以及海曼和洛皮克罗提出的性疗法仍然是性功能障碍最常用的治疗形式,虽然已经取得了效果,但结果并不一致地支持这是治疗性功能障碍的最佳选择。
结论
对许多女性性功能障碍缺乏系统的研究。性高潮障碍和性疼痛(阴道痉挛和性交困难)是研究最广泛的疾病,在这些疾病中,性治疗似乎有更好的结果。
