Improvement of erectile dysfunction symptoms
60 and 90 days after starting treatment.
Improvement of prostatic symptoms
60 and 90 days after starting treatment.
Improvement of abdominal perimeter
60 and 90 days after starting treatment.
Global Clinical Response to treatment
90 days after starting treatment.
Incidence of adverse events
During 120 days
Other Outcomes (1)
Satisfaction and comfort of Nasotestt use
After 120 days
