Male Sexual Dysfunction

This randomized controlled trial will compare three pelvic floor-based treatment modalities in men with lifelong premature ejaculation: electromagnetic pelvic floor stimulation, biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training, and conventional pelvic floor muscle training. A total of 150 men aged 18 to 50 years with lifelong premature ejaculation and stopwatch-measured intravaginal ejaculatory latency time of less than 1 minute will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups. The primary outcome will be the change in intravaginal ejaculatory latency time from baseline to the end of treatment at 6 weeks. Secondary outcomes will include changes in Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool score, International Index of Erectile Function-5 score, patient-reported ejaculatory control, sexual satisfaction, partner satisfaction, treatment adherence, and adverse events.

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.
