Abstract

Objective: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease with a detrimental effect on functional status. The present study investigated the effect of a Sexual Therapy program on the Quality of Life (QOL) of women with Multiple Sclerosis. Method: Women with Multiple Sclerosis and sexual dysfunction (n = 30) were selected, and were randomly assigned into the treatment (n = 15), or the control groups (n = 15). Participants of the treatment group (n = 15) received 12 weekly sessions of Sexual Therapy. Participants in both groups completed the Female Sexual Function Inventory (FSFI) and the MS Quality of Life-54 (MSQOL-54) in the onset of the program and at the end of the program. Results: ANCOVA(s) using pre-test scores as covariate(s) revealed that in comparison to the control condition, MS patients within the treatment group showed a significant improvement in their sexual desire (0. 0001), arousal (0. 022), lubrication (0. 001), orgasm (0. 001), satisfaction (0. 0001), overall Quality of Life (0. 001), energy (0. 023), cognitive function (0. 005), and social function (0. 001) at the end of the program. In addition, they were less limited in their roles due to the emotional and health problems. Conclusion: The present study revealed that addressing sexual dysfunction in MS patients could improve their Quality of Life. In the future, this research can extend its results, and apply the same method to men with MS to find whether Sexual Therapy enhances their Quality of Life.
