5. Study Description
Brief Summary
A preliminary study to determine the possibility of using far infrared (FIR) radiation to treat impotency.
Detailed Description
Erectile dysfunction is characterized by the regular or repeated inability to obtain or maintain an erection. Erection depends on a complex interaction of psychological, neural, vascular and endocrine factors.
We are proposing a non-drug and a non-invasive radiation treatment for the enhancement of erection.
