Filter by:Radical prostatectomy (RP) is one of the curative treatment modalities for localized or locally advanced prostate cancer. Urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction (ED) are two most common complications after RP. Despite the advancement of prostate cancer treatment, ED post-RP remains a significant morbidity especially for patients who are sexually active pre-operatively. To improve the sexual function post-surgery, numerous strategies have been described including preservation of neurovascular bundles intra-operatively, post-operative physiotherapy, on-demand phosphodiesterase 5-inhibitors (PDE5i), regular PDE5i, intra-carvenosal injection or vacuum suction device. Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LiESWT) is an emerging treatment modality of ED with promising result, and it is a well-established treatment of ED in patients with diabetes mellitus or vasculopathy. Most of the pre-clinical studies were done on post-RP ED rat models with bilateral cavernous nerve crush injury. LiESWT was observed to improve nerve-impaired ED significantly compared to sham procedures. There are currently one pilot study and one randomized controlled trial (RCT) published in the literature on this field. However, the published RCT was an open label study with no sham-controlled arm which could contribute to reporting bias and the treatment intensity might not be adequate. In our proposed study, we make a hypothesis that LiESWT and very early PDE5i can improve erectile function in patients after nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy.
The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not low-intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT) with Xiaflex treatment will result in greater improvements to the curvature of the penis.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Ningmitai capsule alone or in combination with sildenafil compared with sildenafil alone in the treatment of CP/CPPS with erectile dysfunction. Study Design: A multicenter, prospective, randomized and positive drug-controlled clinical study design was adopted. Interventions: ① Western medicine group (sildenafil): Sildenafil citrate, 25mg/capsule, once a night, one capsule each time, for 4 weeks. ② Chinese medicine group (Ningmitai capsule): Ningmitai capsule, 0.38 g/capsule, 3 times a day, 4 capsules each time, taken after meals for 4 weeks continuously. ③ Combination group (Ningmitai capsule + sildenafil): Ningmitai capsule, 0.38 g/capsule, 3 times a day, 4 capsules each time, taken after meals; Sildenafil citrate, 25mg/capsule, once a night, one capsule each time, was taken continuously for 4 weeks.
- To assess the effectiveness of low-intensity shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) in the management of Arteriogenic erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients. - To assess the effectiveness of Kegel Exercises in the management of Arteriogenic erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients. - To compare the effectiveness of Li-ESWT and Kegel Exercises in the management of Arteriogenic erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if injecting Botox into men with erectile dysfunction makes their penis less stiff and gives them better erections. This will be done using a new ultrasound method. The main questions it tries to answer are: Is Botox injection safe and effective for men suffering from erectile dysfunction who failed other treatment methods? Does this new method have any radiological criteria for penile tissues? • If Botox is injected into the penis, is there a cut-off number for this technique that shows how much better things are before and after? Before and after treatment, participants will rate how much their erections have improved, and investigators will connect their answers to the findings
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.
The purpose of this study is primarily to evaluate the effects of simultaneous administration of Tunodafil Hydrochloride Tablets with alcohol on blood pressure, pulse rate and pharmacokinetics in healthy Chinese male participants.

From previous studies, the investigators found that sexual outcomes after prostate surgery may show insignificant improvement, remain unchanged or deteriorate in non-negligible number of patients especially those with high preoperative IIEF scores. Deterioration of erectile function could be attributed to persistence of storage symptoms specially nocturia. Several pathophysiologic mechanisms, described before, are involved in pathogenesis of LUTS and ED and one can imagine that after relief of obstruction, the erectile function should improve, however lack of improvement or even deterioration suggests that damage associated with these mechanisms is irreversible and patients may require some sort of penile rehabilitation after surgery. The investigators hypothesized that Tadalafil may enhance relief of storage symptoms and enhance recovery of erectile function after surgery for BPH. With this assumption, a RCT was designed to examine the utility and efficacy of Tadalafil, once daily dose, to relieve persistent/ de novo storage symptoms and early erectile function deterioration after endoscopic prostate surgery.
Men with localized prostate cancer (PCa) are often treated with surgery, a treatment that is associated with high rates of side effects such as erectile dysfunction (ED) and urinary incontinence (UI) which impact quality of life. Yoga may improve control of UI and improve ED by bringing awareness to and strengthening the pelvic floor musculature. The randomized controlled pilot study is to assess the feasibility of an innovative hybrid (in-person and virtual) twice-weekly yoga program that includes a prehabilitation component and to obtain preliminary data that will help assess its potential effectiveness in alleviating PCa treatment symptom burden (primarily ED and UI). The long-term goal is to develop a scalable and sustainable yoga program that helps cancer survivors manage their treatment side effects.
