Interventions

DRUG

Vardenafil

In this study we used Vardenafil 10 mg orodispersible tablets. These are the only orodispersible tablets on commerce indicated for the treatment of ED. We choose this kind of tablets because of their easy way of assumption that can also have a minor psychological impact on patients. Male patients will begin taking Vardenafil 10 mg orodispersible tablets 2 times a week for 10 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

CBST

The CBST cognitive intervention, in according with Beck (1976), includes to help patients and their partners to gain a commonsense understanding and reframe their problems. On the other side, the CBST behaviour intervention, how described by Meichenbaum (1993), is a method to teach patients to practice different behaviours that allows the replacement of the compromised behaviour with a functional one. CBST interventions used in this study includes: psycho-educational interventions on ED maintaining, on anxiety's role and sexual homework. This course is structured in 10 weekly meetings. Male patients will begin taking Vardenafil 10 mg orodispersible tablets 2 times a week for 10 weeks.
