Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Distress Due to Female Orgasmic Disorder From Day 0 Baseline to Day 84Day 0 and Day 84

as measured by Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS-DAO) Question #15 on Day 0 and 84, respectively. Question #15 evaluates the level of distress related to problems with orgasm. It is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (from 0 to 4, i.e. never \[0\], rarely \[1\], occasionally \[2\], frequently \[3\], or always \[4\]). Higher scores indicate more distress.

Change in Global Sexual Functioning From Day 0 to Day 84Day 0 and Day 84

as measured by Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) on Day 0 and 84, respectively. The FSFI, a 19-item questionnaire, has been developed as a brief, multidimensional self-report instrument for assessing the key dimensions of sexual frustration in women. The questionnaire provides scores on 6 domains of sexual function (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain) as well as a total score. Fifteen items are rated on a 6-point Likert scale (from 0 to 5) and 4 items on a 5-point Likert scale (from 1 to 5). The scores are added and converted using a conversion factor so that the maximum score for each domain is 6. The overall FSFI score can range from 2 to 36. Higher scores indicate better or higher sexual function.

Change in Sexual Event Satisfaction Over a 28-day Period (Day 57 to Day 84) Compared to Baseline (Day -28 to Day 0)Baseline (Day -28 to Day 0) and End of Study (Day 57 to 84)

as measured by Monash Women's Health Program Female Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire (MONASH WHP FSSQ) question 11.

MONASH WHP FSSQ question 11 asks participants to comment on how satisfying they found the sex to be from "Not at all" to "Very much so". The lowest score is 1 and the highest is 9. All scores for each 28-day period were averaged. Change from baseline was obtained by subtracting baseline 28-day average from the 28-day period at the end of the study (Day 57 to 84).
