title: [Interventional effect of behaviour psychotherapy on patients with premature ejaculation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the interventional effect of comprehensive behaviour psychotherapy on the ejaculatory latency of premature ejaculation (PE) patients, sexual satisfaction of sexual partners, as well as its influence on the results of clinical treatment.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ninety PE patients were randomly divided into a psychological intervention group (n = 45) and a control group (n = 45). Both groups were given medicine therapy, and the former also received comprehensive behaviour psychotherapy for 6 weeks. All the patients were assessed with the Chinese index of sexual function for PE and ejaculatory latency in the vagina, and the clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Before treatment, the ejaculatory latency in the vagina was (0.69 +/- 0.25) min and (0.71 +/- 0.19) min respectively in the intervention and the control groups, as compared with (5.87 +/- 0.59) min and (4.76 +/- 0.54) min before treatment, with significant difference (P < 0.01). In the intervention group, the scores in the control of ejaculatory reflex, the sexual satisfaction of the patients and their sexual partners and anxiety or depress in sexual activity in CIPE were higher than in the control group, with significant difference between the two groups (t = 2.12, 2.31, 2.01, 2.24, P < 0.05). The difference in the SAS score after therapy was of significance (P < 0.01). A month after treatment, the effectivity rates of the two groups were 82.9% and 30% respectively, and the difference was significant (P < .01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Comprehensive behaviour psychotherapy obviously adds to the clinical efficacy of drugs in the treatment of PE.
