Capsule thickness of sugar, alleviate depression and relieve back pain is the placebo response, as long as you think they have drug use, it more often. (In fact occur, the placebo response in clinical studies, when people say they can swallow pills or may not be the right thing.) But to solve a sugar pill bad sex life?

That the purpose of a study published yesterday in the online edition of the Journal of Sexual Medicine. This study focused on 50 women received the placebo in clinical trials of tadalafil is not for the old drug, now called Cialis (and who does not do much for the women because the drug erectile dysfunction.)
Authors – a psychologist and Andrea Bradford from Baylor Medical in Texas, and Cindy Meston at the University of Texas at Austin – large amounts of data in the placebo group and found that say many women find that their sex life increased significantly when wearing the think they can tadalafil. The women in the premenopausal age of 35-55 and all were diagnosed with female sexual arousal disorder. But after a few weeks with placebo, women as a group reported more anxiety and less satisfied with their sex lives.

But this power of placebos? The women were given psychological treatment. It is not psychotherapy per se, but the women were asked to change their behavior: to be completed Try sex at least three times a month, detailed questionnaires about their sex life to have. Motivate yourself can change a regular pattern of powerful therapy. Also fill the forces of moderation, which are also useful.

Showed, however, Bradford and Mester, that within four weeks, the period with placebo, before it was given for the first time, women improve with behavioral intervention, as they do to start taking sugar pills. Also the pace of growth began after placebo.
What about men? A study in the journal last year that a placebo can improve erectile function, published in particular by improving the quality found in erection.

How? One possibility is a placebo works, that people tend to do * is * more women in this study, the work of such treatment can often jump “very motivated, as evidenced by their willingness to participate in sexual activity on a regular basis, as requirement for registration. ” Turn on the power of natural healing.

But in this case, placebo may cause sexual dysfunction by sex work as well, almost everything is at the top. If your sex life better, you can not start taking the pill, but think about what you want.
