Pilot Study on EEG and Behavioral Effects of Two Different Treatments on Sexual Life

Pilot Study on EEG and Behavioral Effects of Two Different Treatments on Sexual Life

In this study patients with Multiple Sclerosis or Spinal Lesions will participate in two different types of treatments that aim to improve sexual and sentimental life. Behavioral (via questionnaires) and brain (via high-density electroencephalogram) effects associated with treatment will be studied.

People with neurological diseases can experience sexual disorders that can affect their quality of life. There are cognitive treatments to improve these aspects, but their effectiveness is not clear. The aim of this study is to test the potential efficacy of two treatments (mindfulness and sezual therapy) in two neurological populations (patients with multiple sclerosis and patients with spinal injury). To verify the effects of the treatment, questionnaires and brain activity measurements, measured by electroencephalogram, will be used.

Inclusion Criteria:

• medical diagnosis of MS or spinal injury.
• ability to sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• other relevant previous neurological or psychiatric pathologies.
