Penile implant surgery for erectile dysfunction when medicines fail
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at using a penile implant pump to help erections in people whose erectile dysfunction can’t be fixed with standard medicine or can’t safely take it. It may help if pills or other treatments have not worked for you, but it also requires the ability to use the device correctly and safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have erectile dysfunction (trouble getting or keeping an erection).
- You either cannot take usual ED medicines safely or they have already failed for you.
- You can use the implant pump yourself because you have enough hand/finger coordination.
- You have the mental ability to understand and operate the pump safely.
- You do not have a bleeding problem that can’t be corrected (for example, an ongoing bleeding tendency).
