Active clinical trials for "Erectile Dysfunction"

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.

Penile erection is a neurovascular response that induces penile arterial dilatation, increased blood flow, and cavernous smooth muscles (CSM) relaxation; the enlarging corpora cavernosa compress the subtunical veins, against a rigid tunica albuginea, and entrap blood within the penis. Impaired CSM function can result in corporo veno-occlusive dysfunction (CVOD) and erectile dysfunction. Nevertheless, diagnostic tests, which can evaluate the status of CSM, are not clinically applicable. Penile elastography is a new promising tool that can assess the stiffness of the corpora cavernosa. Accordingly penile elastography can assess the status of the cavernous tissue and can distinguish patient with corporal fibrosis.

The rationale for investigating the hypothesis that there is an association between erectile dysfunction (ED) and the subsequent development of prostate cancer is based on three assumptions: 1) baseline ED is common in most if not all of the cross-sectional studies in men with prostate cancer; 2) the development of ED and prostate cancer may have certain shared common risk factors; and 3) the use of testosterone for the treatment of ED has been suspected to be associated with prostate cancer development. Controversy exists over whether men with ED have an increased risk of subsequent prostate cancer. Few studies have evaluated the risk of developing prostate cancer for men with ED. The investigators, therefore, conducted a population-based longitudinal study with eight years' follow-up to examine this association and to evaluate the magnitude of the risk.

Subjects in this study have recently had or are scheduled for a coronary angiography as part of their normal, routine medical care. This procedure uses x-ray imaging to see the inside of the heart's blood vessels. This research study will evaluate the possible relationship between erectile dysfunction and vascular disease (diseases of the veins). In order to look at this possible relationship, subjects will complete a questionnaire which will ask questions regarding their sexual activity. Additionally, we will gather information from their medical records and take extra images during the coronary angiography procedure.

The purpose of this study is to assess patient satisfaction with the Titan one touch release penis prosthesis and to register complications with this prosthesis. This will regard the first prostheses inserted at Herlev Hospital/Frederikssund Hospital. Patient satisfaction will be assessed by mailing out the "Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) Questionnaire" and recording the patient answers. The most important question will be "Overall how satisfied are you with penile prosthesis?". Complications (including infection, bleeding, and mechanical failure) will be assessed by a patient chart review and confirmed by a brief phone interview.

Erectile dysfunction is a common complaint and is found frequently in men with hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and those who smoke. ED may also be an early warning of peripheral arterial disease. This study is designed to look for a relationship between the degree of ED and the presence of PAD when associated with co-morbid conditions.

The specific aim of this pilot study is to describe the angiographic prevalence and pattern of internal pudendal artery (and associated inflow vessel) atherosclerosis in patients with erectile dysfunction who are non-responsive to PDE-5 inhibitors (i.e., Viagra) who are referred for clinically-indicated cardiac catheterization.

This study consists of filling out a questionnaire on possible erectile dysfunction.

Questionnaires are used within urology to objectify disease burden and symptom changes during therapy. Recent technological improvements, as the smartphone and tablet, create new fill-out possibilities. However, questionnaires are only validated on paper. In order to use questionnaires for multiple platforms, electronic validation is needed. The International Prostate Symptom Score has already been validated on the smartphone. The International Index of Erectile Function (normal version of 15 questions and short version of 5 questions) is widely used within urology, however electronic validation is required for usage on electronic platforms in the future.

Men participating in assisted reproductive technology treatments will be recruited to a study involving filling erectile function questionnaires throughout fertility treatments, pregnancy and up to 1 year after birth.
