NCT ID NCT00582231
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why some men feel anxious about giving themselves penile injections for erectile dysfunction after pelvic surgery. Researchers will ask 126 men to fill out questionnaires before, during, and after injection training. The goal is to better understand and measure this anxiety, not to test a new treatment.
