Prostate Stimulation for Sexual Dysfunction
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial uses a special device to help men with sexual dysfunction by stimulating their prostate. The goal is to help these men achieve faster ejaculation and better erections. The Viberect handheld device is a new treatment that uses vibrations to help improve sexual function.
Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
What data supports the effectiveness of prostate stimulation devices for sexual dysfunction?
The research suggests that innovative approaches, like using a strap-on dildo, can help men with erectile dysfunction (ED) by reducing the fear of erectile failure and increasing partner satisfaction. While not directly about prostate stimulators, this indicates that alternative sexual aids can be beneficial for sexual dysfunction.12345
How does the prostate stimulator treatment for sexual dysfunction differ from other treatments?
The prostate stimulator is unique because it uses vibratory stimulation to enhance sexual function, which can increase sexual desire and improve erectile and ejaculatory function. Unlike traditional medical treatments, it offers a non-invasive, mechanical approach that can be used at home and may also help with pelvic floor dysfunction.46789
