Registry on the Short- and Medium-term Efficacy of Low-dose Peripheral Nerve Stimulation of the Pudendal Nerve in Patients With Pudendal Nerve in Patients With Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is known as any alteration that produces a modification in the erectile response, whether it is due to organic, psychogenic or relational causes. Peripheral percutaneous nerve stimulation is performed using a needle to stimulate the peripheral nerves in such a way as to stimulate most of the area of the structure, stimulating sensory and motor nerve endings in the deeper tissues.
Patients will undergo continuous stimulation at a frequency of 20 Hertz, a pulse width of 200 µs and for a total of 20 minutes. The intensity will be set at the maximum tolerated by the patient, observing significant changes in erectile function after transanal stimulation at intensities between 20 and 100 mA.
