“…Different patient characteristics were found to be associated with SD including advancing age, lower educational level, and poor QoL . MS‐related parameters found to be associated with SD were longer disease duration, progressive MS, greater neurological disability, worse physical functions, fatigue, urinary problem, and poor cognitive function .…”

Aims: Sexual dysfunction (SD) is highly prevalent in women with multiple sclerosis (MS), however little is known about treatment options. The aim of this paper is to review the prevalence, symptomatology, and management options of sexual dysfunction in women with MS. Methods: The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED, PsycINFO, PEDro, Database of International Rehabilitation Research, Occupational Therapy Systematic Evaluation of Evidence, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Current Controlled Trials databases were searched. No limitations were placed on the date. A critical appraisal of the literature on SD in women with MS was performed according to the PRISMA statement. Two reviewers screened and extracted data. Study quality was evaluated using a standardized tool. Results: A search of 12 databases identified 61 relevant studies (33 observational, 14 case-control, 4 follow up, 10 interventional). Significant variability in the prevalence of SD and questionnaires used to evaluate SD were observed. The most commonly reported sexual difficulties were problems with desire, arousal, and orgasm. Different demographics and MS-related characteristics were found to contribute to SD. Few studies have evaluated interventions for treating SD, and bias was high because of the weak quality of trial designs. Conclusions: SD in women with MS is multidimensional, comparable in prevalence with other neurological disorders and increases with advancing disease. Studies evaluating practical strategies and pharmacological interventions are few, and properly designed trials using MS-specific validated outcome measures of SD are required to inform evidence-based treatment options for this high impact MS-related dysfunction.

“…Poleg tega so intervjuje z moškimi opravljale le ženske, zato je možno, da so moški težje spregovorili o intimnih problemih. K veliki razliki med deležem moške in ženske spolne disfunkcije je verjetno pripomoglo tudi daljše trajanje bolezni pri ženskah (Kılıc, et al, 2012).…”

Uvod: Spolna disfunkcija je pri pacientih z multiplo sklerozo pogosta, ustreznih podatkov za slovensko populacijo pa ni na voljo. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti vrsto in delež spolne disfunkcije, razlike med moškimi in ženskami ter morebitno povezavo med spolno disfunkcijo in značilnostmi pacientov.Metode: Presečna raziskava je bila izvedena pri pacientih z multiplo sklerozo, ki so imeli spolne odnose v zadnjih šestih mesecih in so izpolnili vprašalnik MSISQ-19 (Multiple Sclerosis Intimacy and Sexuality Questionnaire). V raziskavi je sodelovalo 368 pacientov povprečne starosti 40,9 leta in trajanjem bolezni 10,2 leta. Nevrološko prizadetost smo ocenili z EDDS (Expanded Disability Status Scale). Za primerjavo številčnih spremenljivk smo uporabili neparni t-test, za primerjavo kategoričnih spremenljivk hi-kvadrat,povezanost med značilnostmi pacientov ter posamezno obliko spolne disfunkcije pa smo ocenili s pomočjo korelacijskega koeficienta po Spearmanu.Rezultati: Delež spolne disfunkcije, definiran kot odgovor 4 ali 5 na katero koli vprašanje v MSISQ-19, je znašal 37 %, deleži primarne, sekundarne in terciarne spolne disfunkcije pa 39,4 %, 39,9 % in 40,8 %. Med spoloma ni bilo statistično pomembnih razlik. Statistično značilno, a zelo šibko linearno korelacijo smo ugotovili med značilnostmi pacientov (starost, trajanje bolezni, EDSS, trajanje partnerske zveze) ter posamezno obliko spolne disfunkcije.Diskusija in zaključek: Spolno disfunkcijo ima 37 % slovenskih pacientov z multiplo sklerozo. Med spoloma ni statistično pomembnih razlik, kar velja tudi za posamezne vrste spolne disfunkcije, kot so primarna, sekundarna in terciarna.

The ICF can help guide the selection of clinical measures to assess psychosocial functioning in adults with MS and highlight areas necessitating further research and/or intervention. For those reporting depressed mood, this might include interventions premised on supporting activity and participation in addition to reinforcing interpersonal strengths. To enhance the utility of the ICF in MS care, further research is needed to operationalize its domains and to map this framework onto existing measurement tools. (PsycINFO Database Record
