Abstract

Objective: This study compared the therapeutic effectiveness of hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in patients with primary vaginismus previously assessed by a psychiatrist and a gynecologist Methods: We performed as a single-center, cross-sectional study in 35 patients with primary vaginismus Results: Successful coitus was achieved by 19 (95%) individuals in the hypnotherapy group and by 14 (93.3%) members of the cognitive behavioral therapy group. These success rates were similar (p=0.681). The mean number of sessions until successful coitus was significantly lower in the hypnotherapy group (p=0.000). Conclusions: hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy can be applied with similar high success rates in the treatment of vaginismus. However, success may be achieved with fewer sessions with hypnotherapy.Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı vajinismus tedavisinde hipnoterapi ve Bilişsel Davranışçı Terapi (BDT) etkinliklerinin karşılaştırılmasıdır. Metot: Primer vajinismuslu 35 hastada tek merkezli, kesitsel bir çalışma olarak gerçekleştirdik Bulgular: Hipnoterapi grubundaki 19 (% 95) birey ve bilişsel davranışçı terapi grubundaki 14 (% 93,3) kişi tarafından başarılı bir ilişki sağlandı. Bu başarı oranları benzerdi (p = 0,681). Hipnoterapi grubunda başarılı birleşmeye kadar ortalama seans sayısı anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü (p = 0.000). Sonuç: Hipnoterapi ve bilişsel davranışçı terapi vajinismus tedavisinde benzer yüksek başarı oranları ile uygulanabilir. Ancak hipnoterapi ile daha az seans ile başarı elde edilebilir. Anahtar Kelimeler: vajinismus, hipnoterapi, bilişsel davranışçı terapi
