Efficacy of Intracavernous injection of Wharton jelly Mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients.
This study will be conducted at the Cell Therapy Center (CTC), Jordan, in which 22 male patients ranging from 25-70 years diagnosed with erectile dysfunction will be selected. This diagnosis is based on medical history, validated questionnaires, physical examinations, laboratory tests and specific diagnostic tests. The patients are followed by clinical assessment, laboratory investigations as well as Doppler ultrasound. The investigators hypothesize that the intracavernous injection of stem cells will facilitate the recovery of erectile function resulting in satisfying clinical outcomes in patients.

Intracavernous injection of Wharton Jelly Mesenchymal stem cells.
Cell Therapy Center
Amman, Jordan
Assessment of the efficacy of injecting Wharton Jelly derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Penile Doppler ultrasonography.
Patients will be evaluated for the efficacy of the intracavernous injection of Wharton Jelly derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Penile Doppler ultrasonography in which peak systolic velocity of the cavernosal arteries will be measured.
Time frame: 12 months
Assessment of the efficacy of injecting Wharton Jelly derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by SHIM/IIEF/EHS questionnaires
The efficacy of the intracavernous injection of Wharton Jelly will be evaluated by scoring the SHIM/IIEF/EHS questionnaires.
Time frame: 12 months
