Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervation Plus Pelvic Floor Muscle Training for Premature Ejaculation
Sponsor: Abant Izzet Baysal University
Summary
This single-center, prospective, parallel-group randomized controlled trial evaluated whether extracorporeal magnetic innervation (ExMI) added to pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) improves pelvic floor muscle function and premature ejaculation symptoms compared with PFMT alone in men with premature ejaculation. Participants were assessed at baseline, week 4, and week 8 using real-time suprapubic ultrasonography and validated patient-reported outcome measures.

Interventions
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training
Participants performed five sets of pelvic floor muscle exercises daily for 8 weeks. Each set included slow and fast contractions. The number of each type of contraction was progressively increased from 10 in week 1, to 20 in week 2, 30 in week 3, and 40 in week 4. During weeks 5-8, each set included 50 slow and 50 fast contractions. Correct pelvic floor contraction was taught and verified using real-time ultrasonography.
Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervation
Extracorporeal magnetic innervation was delivered using the EMD E-6000 MAGTHER system with the participant seated on the treatment chair. Treatment was administered twice weekly for 8 weeks, for a total of 16 sessions. Each session consisted of 10 minutes of intermittent stimulation at 10 Hz, followed by a 1-minute rest period and 10 minutes of intermittent stimulation at 50 Hz. Stimulation intensity was increased to the highest comfortably tolerated level.
