Summary

Given the high rates and associated impairment of sexual concerns during the menopausal transition, and specifically during perimenopause, our team has developed a CBT protocol specifically designed to target these prevalent and distressing sexual concerns. The broad aim of the proposed study is to validate this new protocol in a clinic that provides empirically-supported assessment and intervention services for women with menopause-related symptoms. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a four-week individual CBT protocol in improving sexual satisfaction and reducing distress during perimenopause. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of this CBT protocol to improve sexual functioning (e.g., desire, arousal), relationship satisfaction, and body image. Exploratory analyses will examine the impact on this CBT protocol on vasomotor symptoms, depression, and anxiety.
