Summary

This study tested whether a 12-week Pilates program could improve erectile function in 60 men aged 40-60 with type 2 diabetes and erectile dysfunction. Participants did Pilates three times a week for 60 minutes each session. The study measured blood flow in the penis and used a questionnaire to assess erectile function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pilates exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, Pilates could offer a non-drug way to improve erectile function in men with type 2 diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study without a control group, so results may not be reliable or generalizable. Exercise may not help everyone.
