[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 3404, member: 3"] [h=3]Abstract[/b][h=4]Aim[/b]The aim of this study was to report and analyze the published data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for (i) the psychosocial outcomes associated with erectile dysfunction (ED) before treatment with a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor; and (ii) the change in psychosocial outcomes after the use of a PDE5 inhibitor in men with ED.
