Summary
This trial is testing three different creams on healthy premenopausal women to see if they can increase blood flow and temperature in the genital area. One cream contains Sildenafil, another contains L-arginine, and the third is a non-active cream. Sildenafil has been used previously in various forms to enhance blood flow in different contexts, including sexual dysfunction and pain management.
Who is the study for?
Premenopausal women over 18, with a BMI <38 kg/m², not pregnant or nursing, using birth control (excluding condoms alone), in good health, non-smokers for at least 24 hours before visits. Must be sexually active and aroused by heterosexual pornography. Cannot have certain cardiovascular diseases, bleeding disorders, significant medical conditions or use genital HRT within three months.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the effects of Sildenafil Cream versus placebo on genital temperature changes in healthy premenopausal women as measured by thermography after watching explicit videos. It aims to assess sexual arousal response through skin temperature variations.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed but may include typical reactions to topical creams such as irritation or allergic responses at the site of application. Systemic side effects could mirror those of oral sildenafil: headache, flushing, indigestion.
