Abstract in brief

  • This article reviews pharmacological treatments for pedophilic disorder (PeD) and compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD), highlighting that current guidelines are mainly based on data from forensic settings and sexual crime risk assessments.
  • Recent research includes 12 randomized controlled trials from 1974 to 2021 with mostly small sample sizes, indicating some evidence that testosterone-lowering drugs can reduce sexual activity in affected individuals, but overall, the evidence remains limited.
  • The review emphasizes the need for larger, more standardized studies with clear diagnostic criteria and longer follow-up periods to improve treatment understanding and efficacy for people experiencing distress due to their sexual urges and behaviors.
