Do Viagra, Levitra or Cialis improve sexual functioning for women with spinal cord injury?
Research is still trying to answer this question and a multi center SCI study is currently underway. Early studies with women did show that Viagra was no better than a placebo for women who had low desire and poor lubrication. Currently, the new studies with women have been redesigned to exclude women with poor desire. Thus, in addition to the SCI studies now underway, Pfizer is exploring the impact of Viagra on women with poor lubrication and normal desire. It is just a matter of time before oral medications to improve women’s sexual functioning make their debut. Today however, we just don’t have the answers.
