Measurement of electrochemical conductance of penile skin using Sudoscan ®: A new tool to assess neurogenic impotence

Conclusion Erectile dysfunction is common in diabetic men, but the diagnosis of a neurogenic origin is challenging. This study showed that ESC measurement using Sudoscan® is feasible and more sensitive than SSR recordings to show penile sympathetic innervation impairment. This new test should be further studied to better define its diagnostic accuracy and clinical correlates.
