Predictors of Erectile Function Normalization in Men With Erectile Dysfunction Treated With Placebo.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clinical study and practice data have shown sildenafil improves sexual function in men with erectile dysfunction (ED). However, some men treated with placebo in double-blind, placebo-controlled sildenafil studies also report improved erectile function as measured by International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF)-Erectile Function Domain (EFD) scores.
