What was measured

The desire subscore of the female sexual function index (FSFI) measures self-reported sexual desire. Possible scores range from 1.2 to 6, with higher scores indicating increased desire. Change score is calculated by subtracting baseline from later score, with a positive change score indicating increased desire. This measure is referred to as "sexual desire" in the protocol.
