Active clinical trials for "Erectile Dysfunction"

Erectile Dysfunction (ED), previously known as sexual impotence, is defined as the persistent inability to obtain and/or maintain a penile erection that is hard enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse. The number of reported patients with ED is increasing and it is becoming a real medical problem.

HIV infection is associated to premature decline of serum testosterone. However, prevalence and biochemical characterization of hypogonadism in HIV-infected men are still to be well defined. HIV-infection is strongly associated to erectile dysfunction in men, but preliminary data suggest that it is poorly associated with serum testosterone in this context.

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of Power Doppler in order to improve the diagnostic work up of veno-occlusive erectile dysfunction patients. Materials and Methods: Two hundred and two patients affected by erectile dysfunction, mean IIEF 5 = 13.5 (12-17) for at least 6 months, were enrolled in a prospective cross-sectional study. All patients underwent Dynamic Power Doppler after intracevernous injection of vasoactive drugs. Poor responders patients subsequently underwent to cavernosometry to get a full assessment of the vascular framework.

The purpose of the study is to characterize intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (time between the start of vaginal intercourse and the start of intravaginal ejaculation) in men with and without premature ejaculation (PE) and to assess the validity of patient-reported outcomes.

The gold standard diagnosis in patients admitted to the hospital with the complaint of erectile dysfunction is penile doppler ultrasonography. This procedure is an invasive procedure and can cause various complications. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to support and define the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction with some biomarkers that can be measured in blood samples. At this point, we performed penile doppler ultrasonography, which is the gold standard test, for all patients who applied with the complaint of erectile dysfunction, and compared the results of penile doppler and serum biomarkers in the patients.

Obstructive sleep apnea has been linked to erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, small studies suggest that treatment of sleep apnea by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may reverse erectile dysfunction in affected patients. The present study aims to investigate in a larger cohort if severe sleep apnea is independently associated with erectile dysfunction and if 6-12 months of CPAP therapy lead to an improvement of erectile dysfunction.

The purpose of this project is to assess the relationship between low intensity shock wave treatment (LI-SWT) and erectile function (ED) in patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy (RP).

The proposed project is aimed to build a Duke University-specific longitudinal urologic surgery database. It will be used as the main resource to support future research within Urology and Duke University.

It was aimed to demonstrate whether erectile dysfunction is affected by BH pathogenesis and whether there is a relationship between erectile dysfunction and BD pathogenesis by assessing both sexual function and retinal micro-vascular blood flow in BH which may involve vessels from all calibrations and nature.

The first large population-based study to evaluate erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE) in Poland. The study objective is to assess the prevalence and bother of ED and PE in the representative group of male population of Poland.
