A Blind Evaluation of a Penile Ring—A Sex Aid for Impotent Males

ALAN J. COOPER M.D., M.R.C.Psych.1

1 Medical Director, E. Merck Ltd., Fishponds Road, Wokingham, Berks. RG11 2QJ

Forty impotent men participated in a double blind cross-over evaluation of a penile ring against a similar placebo. Sufficient data were available for analysis from 39. Both the 'active' and the 'placebo' rings were associated with significant improvement; although the active' ring showed a definite tendency to clinical superiority the differences between the two devices were statistically insignificant. No serious side effects were encountered throughout the trial, and it is suggested that the penile ring, which improved a worthwhile proportion of the impotents studied, should have wider study and usage.
