NCT ID NCT07574268
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) in 185 men: a daily tadalafil pill (5 mg) and a nerve stimulation device (TENS) that sends mild electrical pulses to the penis. The goal was to see if these treatments improve blood flow and erection hardness. The trial compared the real treatments to placebo pills and sham stimulation. Results could point to new ways to manage ED without surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
tadalafil and transcutaneous electrical neural stimulation (TENS) device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer men with erectile dysfunction a non-surgical, drug-free option using electrical stimulation, possibly combined with a daily pill.
What could go wrong
This is a completed Phase 4 trial, but results may not apply to all men with ED, especially those with heart conditions or pacemakers. The electrical device may not work for everyone.
