Can a Feather-Light penile monitor replace the uncomfortable gold standard?
NCT ID NCT07762469
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial evaluates a new ultra-thin flexible penile monitoring system designed to diagnose erectile dysfunction (ED) by measuring nighttime erections. The current standard device, RigiScan, uses mechanical rings that can be uncomfortable and disrupt sleep, potentially skewing results. The study will compare the new flexible system against RigiScan in 60 men—30 with ED and 30 healthy volunteers—to see if it provides equally accurate measurements while being more comfortable and preserving natural sleep.
