Emsella Chair vs Sham for Male Sexual Dysfunction
United States117 participantsStarted 2022-12-14
Plain-language summary
We will be performing this study in 2 phases: Phase 1 will be an open label pilot study of 10 male participants. All participants in the pilot study will receive active treatment. If data from the pilot study is suggestive of symptom improvement, we will continue on to phase 2, which is a sham controlled, randomized blinded study. Participants in phase 2 will be randomized to receive either active treatment or sham. Potentially a total of 117 participants for both phases will be enrolled.
The purpose of this study is to compare the Emsella Chair to sham and to determine whether electromagnetic technology is effective in the treatment of sexual dysfunction, specifically erectile dysfunction (EjD) in men.
