Clinical Trial Summary

Erectile dysfunction affects about 40% of all men above the age of 40 and the prevalence increases with increasing age. It is not possible to cure the condition as current forms of treatment are aimed solely at improving symptoms. Treatment options today include medications, injection therapy, and vacuum pumps, among others. However, pelvic floor muscle training is a natural, inexpensive, and non-invasive form of treatment that is used to a limited extent. Theoretically, a strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles can help increase the intracavernous pressure and thereby the hardness of the erection. Furthermore, tense pelvic floor muscles can help compress pelvic veins and reduce blood flow away from the penis which prolongs the erection. Finally, it is possible that pelvic floor muscle training can contribute to an increased blood supply to the pelvic floor and the penis which will have positive effects in relation to both the integrity of the penile tissue and the physiological erection mechanism itself. This study aims to investigate the effect of pelvic floor muscle training in men with erectile dysfunction. The study hypothesis is that pelvic floor training can provide a clinically significant improvement in the erection function at individual patient level
