What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • physical activityBehavioural

    patients will do moderate running which make them breathe somewhat harder than normal for at least 30 minutes for 5 days in a week

  • dapoxetine 30 mg on demandDrug

    Dapoxetine, a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, has been utilized for the treatment of premature ejaculation in various countries

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (Total Score)

    Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) includes five items; control, frequency, minimal stimulation, distress, and interpersonal difficulty. In this classification tool, equal to or less than scores 8 indicates no PE, scores 9 and 10 indicate possible PE, and scores equal or higher than 11 indicates PE. Total score is between 2 and 22.

    Measured: Baseline and 30 Days

  2. Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time

    Duration determined by the sexual partner with stopwatch method, and <1 minute was considered as PE. (minimum/maximum scores were not possible)

    Measured: Baseline and 30 Days
