“…A score above 21 was considered as a normal erectile function and a score at or below this value was considered as ED. Overall, according to this scale, ED was classified into four categories: severe (1-7), moderate (8)(9)(10)(11), moderate to mild (12)(13)(14)(15)(16), mild (17)(18)(19)(20)(21), and no ED (22-25) (23).…”

“…There has already been a report of the inverse relationship between physical activity levels and biomarkers of inflammation in both healthy individuals and subjects with cardiovascular conditions (11). Accordingly, recent studies have indicated the role of aerobic exercise in the management of erectile dysfunction (12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Aerobic exercise has been revealed to strengthen the cardiovascular system by making the heart stronger and the lungs more efficient (17).…”

BACKGROUND፡ Electrical stimulation and aerobic exercise have been indicated to be beneficial in the management of erectile dysfunction individually. However, there is a scarcity of evidence comparing the two treatment approaches. This study investigated the effects of Electrical Stimulation (ES) compared with Eerobic Exercise (AE) in the management of individuals with Erectile Dysfunction (ED).METHODS: This study was a single-blind parallel randomized clinical trial. Thirty (30) patients diagnosed with ED (Mean age of 39.17 ± 6.21 years) were recruited and randomized into two groups, A and B with 15 participants in each group. Group A received ES while Group B received AE. International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) was used to assess the sexual functions of the participants at baseline and after 6 weeks of intervention. Within-group and between-group differences were analyzed using dependent and independent t-tests respectively.RESULTS: The result indicated a significant difference between groups A and B [20.83 (1.83) Vs 14.33 (2.07), p=0.001] after 6 weeks of intervention. However, the mean effect was significantly higher in the ES group than in the AE group.CONCLUSION: The finding of this study indicated that ES is more effective than AE in the management of individuals withED.
