Erectile Dysfunction in Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Effects of CPAP Therapy

NCT01600066 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 200

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Obstructive sleep apnea has been linked to erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, small studies suggest that treatment of sleep apnea by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may reverse erectile dysfunction in affected patients. The present study aims to investigate in a larger cohort if severe sleep apnea is independently associated with erectile dysfunction and if 6-12 months of CPAP therapy lead to an improvement of erectile dysfunction.
