NCT ID NCT07487181
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at how Traditional Medicine classifies erectile dysfunction (ED) into different patterns and how those patterns relate to a man's age, lifestyle, and mental health. Researchers will study 375 men with ED in Vietnam to better understand these connections. The goal is to help doctors combine traditional and modern approaches for more personalized care.
