SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 6 months

Population: 6 months data was not collected nor analyzed for 2 subjects in control arm and 25 subjects in PTT arm. Negative denotes loss of function.

Erectile function domain will be measured by using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire. IIEF is a validated, 15-item questionnaire that assesses 5 domains of sexual function: erectile function (range 1-30), orgasmic function (range 0-10), sexual desire (range 2-10), intercourse satisfaction (range 0-15), and overall sexual satisfaction (range 2-10). Each question was answered on a 6-point or 5-point scale from 0/1 to 5 (best) with a total possible score (sum of 5 domains) range of 5 to 75 with higher scores representing better function.
