The purpose of this study was to examine this problem in Egypt and explain the effects of CLBP on the sexual lives of women. Methods: 200 married women with persistent low back pain participated in this cross-sectional research. All patients had a thorough history and clinical examination, as well as a 25-question self-report questionnaire with additional questions tailored to the study's objectives.

Methods. the validation has been carried out with a sample of 303 spanish non-hospitalized patients with chronic pain diagnosis aged between 20 and 71 years old (Mage = 49.49; sD = 10.7). exploratory Factor analysis (eFa) yielded 2-factor structure: sexual and Relationship Dissatisfaction, and chronic Pain impact on sexual life. this structure was later verified through confirmatory Factor analysis (cFa). internal consistency (Omega) of each factor was .72 and .96, respectively. this study presents the psychometric properties of a new measure addressed to patients with chronic pain. this 17-items self-administered instrument can be a useful measure of the chronic pain's interference with sexual functioning among chronic pain patients. it represents the first original questionnaire known in spanish language to date. this measure could potentially help researchers and clinicians to obtain key information to design appropriate healthcare interventions.

Background: More than half of the population of women suffer from cyclic mastalgia which can interfere with women's sexual function and affect their sexual satisfaction. The current study was conducted to determine the effect of sexual counseling on sexual satisfaction in women with cyclic mastalgia. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled trial study was performed on 81 women with cyclic mastalgia. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups of intervention (n = 40) and control (n = 41). Intervention was performed as Permission, Limited information, Specific suggestions, Intensive therapy (PLISSIT) sex counseling in four sessions for a maximum of 90 min in the intervention group. The demographic checklist and Index of Sexual Satisfaction (ISS) were used for data collection. Follow-up was performed 1 and 3 months after the intervention. The obtained data were analyzed using repeated-measures test. Results: The intervention and control groups were in good balance in terms of demographic characteristics and sexual satisfaction scores prior to the intervention and no statistically significant differences were observed. There was a statistically significant increase in the mean (SD) score of female sexual satisfaction in the intervention group: 93 (12.52), 101.15 (7.70),101.37 (5.31), (F (1,39) = 27.4, p < 0.001). We also observed a decrease in the mean (SD) score of sexual satisfaction in the control group: 93.39 (13.12), 90.68 (8.41), 90.85 (6.57), (F (1,40) = 11.9, p < 0.001) 1 and 3 months following the intervention. Conclusions: This study revealed that individual counseling by PLISSIT sex counseling could lead to improvement in sexual satisfaction index in women with cyclic breast pain.
