After treatment for prostate cancer, multidisciplinary sexual rehabilitation involving couples appears more promising than traditional urologic treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). We conducted a randomized trial comparing traditional or internet-based sexual counseling with a waitlist control. Couples were adaptively randomized to a 3-month waitlist (WL), a 3-session face-to-face format (FF), or an internet-based format with email contact with the therapist (WEB1). A second internet-based group (WEB2) was added to further examine the relationship between web site usage and outcomes. At baseline, post-waitlist, post-treatment, and at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups participants completed the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 to measure emotional distress, and the abbreviated Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Outcomes did not change during the waitlist period. Of 115 couples entering the randomized trial and 71 entering the WEB2 group, 33% dropped out. However, a linear mixed model analysis including all participants confirmed improvements in IIEF scores that remained significant at 1-year follow-up (P<0.001). Women with abnormal FSFI scores initially also improved significantly (P=0.0255). Finding an effective medical treatment for ED and normal female sexual function at baseline, but not treatment format, were associated with better outcomes. In the WEB groups, only men completing more than 75% of the intervention had significant improvements in IIEF scores. An internet-based sexual counseling program for couples is as effective as a brief, traditional sex therapy format in producing enduring improvements in men’s sexual outcomes after prostate cancer.
