After scored on IIEF-5 questionnaires, all the patients received oral administration of PDE-5 inhibitors and, 30 minutes later, audio-visual sexual stimulation. The data on penile erection were recorded with Rigiscan Plus.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The patients with mild, moderate and severe ED accounted for 18.8, 31.9 and 49.3% in the injury group, and 50.6, 39.8 and 9.6% in the non-injury group, with statistic differences between the two groups in the mild and severe parts (P < 0.05). The rates of conspicuous effectiveness, effectiveness, ineffectiveness and total effectiveness of the combined method were 13.0, 14.5, 72.5 and 27.5% in the injury group, but 55.7, 20.7, 23.6 and 76.4% in the non-injury group, with significant differences (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The PDE-5 inhibitor erection-provoking test with audio-visual sexual stimulation is a simple, practical, safe and effective method for the differentiation of organic from psychological erectile dysfunction.</p>
