80% efficacy cited. The study is small (20 men, double-blind) but very interesting results.

ABSTRACT
This double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessed the efficacy of 3 weeks of impulse magnetic-field therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED). Twenty volunteers who suffered from ED or orgasmic disturbances were randomly assigned to either active treatment or placebo (n = 10 each). Efficacy was assessed in terms of intensity and duration of erection, general well-being, sexual activity, and warm sensation in the genital area. In the active-treatment group, all efficacy endpoints were significantly improved at study end (P
.01), with 80% reporting increases in intensity and duration of erection, frequency of genital warmth, and general wellbeing. The remaining 20%, who experienced minor improvements, were found to have an influenza-like infection after the study that may have influenced their results. Only 30% of the placebo group noted some improvement in their sexual activity; 70% had no change. No side effects were reported.

Thanks, Simbarn. I intended to include the link, but forgot.

Good question. I did not look at the date. I do know that there have been a few trials at stimulating an erection. But I do not know the dates of those experiments either.

(during surgery on men with nerve-damage-induced impotence, electrical stimulation was applied in the region of the perineum, but these were NOT left in place - it was an experiment agreed to by the patients and seems to have had positive results, but only during the surgery when the electrodes were in place)
