A Study to Evaluate Self-esteem and Relationships in Males With Erectile Dysfuntion

An International, Multicentre, Randomized, Parallel Group, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Flexible Dose Study to Evaluate Self-esteem and Relationships in Males With Erectile Dysfunction Treated With Sildenafil Citrate

To determine the improvement in the self-esteem domain score of the Self-Esteem/Overall Relationship (SEAR) questionnaire and the improvement in erectile function (obtained from the Erectile Function [EF] domain of the International Index of Erectile Function [IIEF]). Furthermore, to determine if the improvement obtained in self-esteem was related to the main erectile dysfunction (ED) co-morbidities type and/or number.
