Article Abstract
Of 143 men with residual erectile function at baseline, 11 (78%) reported improved erections and preferred sildenafil to placebo. For all men (including those who reported no residual erectile function at baseline), 127 of 168 (76%) report ed improved erections and preferred sildenafil to placebo. For all men, 132 of 166 (805) reported that sildenafil improved sexual intercourse compared with 17 of 166 men (10% reporting improvement with placebo. IIEF questions assessing the ability to ac hieve and maintain erections and satisfaction with sexual intercourse demonstrated significant improvement with sildenafil. Sildenafil was well tolerated, with a low rate of discontinuation because of treatment-related adverse events (2% vs 1% for placeb o). Oral sildenafil is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for erectile dysfunction caused by spinal cord injury.
