What are the chief aims of this research endeavor?

"This 6-week clinical trial will use the Female Sexual Desire Questionnaire (FSDQ) to evaluate its primary goal. As secondary measures, The Couples Satisfaction Index (CSI), The Hot Flash Related Daily Interference Scale (HFRDIS), and The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) are employed. Scoring on the CSI varies from 0 to 81, with greater values signifying a heightened level of contentment in relationships; HFRDIS scores range from 0 to 24 and reflect how vasomotor symptoms interfere with day-to-day life while HAM-A is graded on a scale between 0 and 56,"
