Exercise plus therapy may boost sexual health in heavy drinkers
NCT ID NCT07277673
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding aerobic exercise (like walking on a treadmill) to cognitive behavioral therapy can improve erectile function in heavy drinking men who also have metabolic syndrome and impotence. Forty men will be split into two groups: one gets only talk therapy, the other gets talk therapy plus supervised exercise three times a week for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in erectile function, body mass index, waist size, and blood pressure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- aerobic exercise and cognitive behavioral therapy
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to improve sexual function and metabolic health in heavy drinking men.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 40 men, so results may not apply to everyone. It also relies on participants sticking to exercise and therapy, which can be hard to maintain.
