Summary

This study tests a device called VERTICA® that uses radio frequency energy to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). About 98 men with mild to moderate ED will use the device at home for 6 months, either the real device or a sham version. The goal is to see if the device improves erectile function safely compared to no treatment.
