Developing Cognitive Bias Modification Scenarios for Women with Sexual Interest Arousal Disorder and Comparing Effectiveness with Mindfulness Therapy.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive bias modification of interpretation (CBM-I) with mindfulness therapy in women with sexual interest arousal disorder (SIAD).
Results Summary
Mindfulness therapy was found to be more effective than CBM-I in improving sexual function, as measured by the Female Sexual Function Index Questionnaire. Both experimental treatments outperformed the no-treatment control group.

The aim of the present study was to develop and validate the scenarios of cognitive bias modification of interpretation (CBM-I) in women with sexual interest arousal disorder (SIAD) and comparing its effectiveness with mindfulness therapy in Iran. This study was performed by mixed method in two phases. In the first phase of the study, CBM treatment scenarios were developed. In the second phase, 45 women with SIAD were selected and randomly divided into three groups (two experimental groups and one control group). In the qualitative phase of the research on the evaluation of the designed scenarios, 80 scenarios remained among the 100 scenarios by meeting the content validity criteria, fidelity, acceptance, and satisfaction with the treatment. Both experimental treatments exceeded the no treatment control but that mindfulness was more effective than CBM-I as measured by the Female Sexual Function Index Questionnaire (
