Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ospemifene vs. Conjugated Estrogens in the Treatment of Postmenopausal Sexual Dysfunction (NCT NCT03018106)

NCT ID: NCT03018106

Last Updated: 2018-01-23

Results Overview

The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a 19 item questionnaire that asks about sexual function in the prior four weeks. The FSFI was developed for the specific purpose of assessing sexual arousal, orgasm, satisfaction, pain related to sexual functioning in clinical trial participants. Participants answer by selecting between 5-6 question-specific options to rate the degree to which the question fits their experience. Each response option is assigned a point and each question has 0-5 or 1-5 possible points. The points are summed to determine a total score. The total score can range from 2 to 36 and scores equal to or less than 26.55 indicate female sexual dysfunction (FSD).
