title: The role of corpus cavernosum electromyography.
abstract: Although corpus cavernosum electromyography presents great theoretical appeal as a possible direct clinical measure of penile neurogenic function, it has still not been adopted as a routine diagnostic test in the evaluation of patients with erectile dysfunction. This is because of the considerable technical and interpretative problems associated with the method. This review covers some of the more important research and clinical papers published since its first description in 1989, with a special focus on recent advances in this field.
