Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Arm Type
Experimental
Sham Comparator
Arm Label
Functional TENS stimulation
Non-stimulation treatment
Arm Description
Short stimulation to identifying Sensory Threshold and Motor Threshold, followed by continuous functional electrical stimulation, throughout the entire self-stimulation phase [from full erection to ejaculation]
Short stimulation to identifying Sensory Threshold and Motor Threshold, followed by continuous non-functional electrical stimulation, throughout the entire self-stimulation phase [from full erection to ejaculation]
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
All Self reported safety events (e.g. discomfort, pain, local irritation, local heat, noticeable changes in urination or bowl activity or any other complaint)
Change in ejaculation latency time
The difference between patient ejaculation latency time under perineal functional electrical stimulation during self-stimulation, and latency time during self-stimulation while no electrical stimulation is applied
Secondary Outcome Measures
Incidence of post-treatment Adverse Events
Post treatment safety evaluation completed by subjects (using safety questionnaire)
