Efficacy of sildenafil for Japanese patients with audio-visual sexual stimulation (AVSS) test by the RigiScan Plus.
Sildenafil is most effective in men with mild-to-moderate ED, but not severe ED in Japan. In order to evaluate the efficacy of sildenafil, we conducted the present study using the AVSS test by the RigiScan Plus. The subjects were 56 patients (age: 34-82 years, mean: 60.5 years) with ED. The IIEF5 questionnaire and the AVSS test were conducted before and after administration of sildenafil. The penile rigidity could not be measured in 19 patients. Of these 19, sildenafil was effective in 7 and not effective in 12. The 7 cases in whom sildenafil was effective were all false-negatives. The sensitivity of sildenafil was 84%, and its specificity was 100%. This study suggests that the AVSS test by RigiScan Plus can objectively evaluate the efficacy of sildenafil, and shows potential for predicting that efficacy.
