About this study
The purpose of this study is to use a device to stimulate the prostate with a goal of helping improve symptoms in men with sexual dysfunction.
Read the detailed description
The purpose of the study is to use a device to stimulate the prostate. The goal of this is to help men with sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction can include conditions like delayed ejaculation (e.g.takes more than 21 minutes to climax) and can hopefully assist them in achieving faster time to ejaculation (e.g. closer to the median of 5.4 minutes in a "normal" individual) along with erectile dysfunction (e.g. the inability to achieve and sustain an erection).
- Being tested
- Prostate stimulator
- Medical subject headings
- Sexual Dysfunction, Physiological, Erectile Dysfunction, Ejaculatory Dysfunction

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
change in modified International Index of Erectile Dysfunction score
score 0 to 30 with higher score meaning better erectile function
Measured: baseline and up to 1 month post-baseline
