About this study

This is a prospective, uncontrolled, Hypothesis generating study. A total of eight adult male participants experiencing penile insensitivity will be recruited through the Ottawa Hospital's Men's Health Clinic. Participants will receive a Health Canada Class I VED to use daily over a six-month period. The study includes biweekly check-ins and monthly questionnaire assessments (including the IIEF-5 and two custom instruments focused on penile sensitivity) administered via Lime Survey. The primary outcome is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of daily vacuum erection device (VED) therapy over a 6-month period in adult males experiencing penile numbness/insensitivity. Data analysis will focus on feasibility metrics (e.g., adherence rates, completion of assessments) and descriptive statistics. Any changes in questionnaire scores over time will be evaluated using within-subject comparisons (e.g., Wilcoxon signed-rank test), recognizing that findings are preliminary and not generalizable due to the lack of a control group.
