Effect of Cognitive-Behavioral Couple Therapy on Premature Ejaculation of People Referred to Medical Centers

Introduction: premature ejaculation (pe) is one of the most prevalent sexual problems among men. drug use can have significant and damaging short-term and long-term effects. therefore, non-pharmacological treatments are appropriate and effective alternatives to medications. the aim of this research was to study the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral couple therapy (cbct) on pe of men who referred to medical centers of neyshabur.method: the current research was conducted through a semi experimental method with pretest-posttest and control group design on 40 men with pe (self-reported). the research sample was selected from men who had referred to medical centers of neyshabur in the period of september 2016 to september 2017. their problem was psychological based medicine diagnosis. they were randomly assigned in control and experimental groups (20 subjects each group). the experimental group received cbct interventions in 9 sessions. the control group was in a waiting list. the instrument used in this research was chronometer.results: the results showed that before interventions, the control and experimental groups had significant differences in terms of pe (p=0.45). also, there was no significant difference before and after interventions in the control group in terms of pe (p=0.43).this is while there was a significant difference before and after interventions in the experimental group in terms of pe (p=0.001). also, there was a significant difference between control and experimental groups in term of pe (p=0.001).conclusion: therefore, it can be concluded that cbct has an effective influence on reducing the pe of men. actually, emerging partners in treatments would be more effective.
