Abstract

A previous study in humans has demonstrated that magnetic stimulation (MS) of the cavernous nerve produced an 
increase of the intracorporeal pressure and full penile erection. In view of these results, We tested the potential use 
of this procedure in humans with erectile dysfunction (ED). The study comprised 60 patients with ED (age 
39.7±13.555 y). A hand peace was placed over the ventral aspect of the penis followed by FMS chair session. 
FMS was performed using a stimulation of 40% intensity, 10 Hz frequency, 10s on and 10 s off for 10 minutes 
duration followed by a stimulation of 40% intensity, 25 Hz frequency, 10s on and 10 s off for 10 minutes duration. 
In the healthy volunteers, the coil was placed as aforementioned but was not activated. The international index of 
erectile function showed a significant improvement in erectile function after the procedure.
