Study Summary

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. There are potential impacts on neurological functions, including sensory and autonomic functions. The Primary observed in males with MS is erectile dysfunction (ED), which substantially impacts the quality of life. There is increasing literature on electromagnetic fields' biological and clinical effects, particularly on ED.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of MS according to the McDonald Revised criteria.
  • Score 6-25 on the International Index of Erectile Function 15 (IIEF-15) will berecruited.
  • Had sexual activity in the past month.
  • Have Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) type and one month of clinical relapse, at leastbefore the experimental study date.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • If they have cognitive impairment that causes problems in answering the questionnaire.

Study Description

The study aims to examine the bio-electromagnetic energy regulation therapy (BEMER) on erectile dysfunction with MS. We will recruit participants with MS having ED in a Triple-blind randomized clinical trial study. All participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group (receive the BEMER therapy) or a comparison group (receive placebo BEMER therapy) for five days/week for three weeks. Participants will also receive pelvic floor exercises in both groups.
