A placebo is a substance that lacks therapeutic action, but has some effect healing to the sick, if it receives it convinced that that substance has really such an action. The placebo used constantly in the world of medicine to demonstrate the effectiveness of medications for example or to find out whether the disorder suffered by a patient to psychological factors.
A new study published by Journal of Sexual Medicine reveals that women with a low level of arousal experienced clinically significant changes in symptoms after taking a placebo.Not something magical or casual, but more than proof that many sexual dysfunction problems are due to the lack of communication with the couple and self-confidence.
Andrea Bradford and Cindy Meston, doctors in psychology, analysed the behaviors and symptoms of half a hundred women who were selected at random from a clinical trial large scale for drug therapy to reduce low sexual arousal. Neither women nor the study doctors knew if they were taking the actual drug or a placebo.
The results showed that, after 12 weeks of treatment, the symptoms of 1 in 3 women had improved to a degree that most doctors would consider a significant change.Most of these improvements also seemed to occur during the first four weeks.
The most important indicator of change in symptoms, was an increase in the frequency of satisfactory sexual encounters during treatment.Many women even reported that they received more stimulation during sexual activity, while their partners were not given special instructions.
Possibly believe that women were more receptive to stimuli was that partners showed more interest or decide to try new things.The mere fact of participating in the study likely triggered a change of behaviour in intimate relationships.
