Article Synopsis
- Bladder cancer is a serious type of cancer that affects many people, and those with it often feel worse than people with other types of cancer.
- To help improve the feelings and quality of life of bladder cancer patients, researchers created a special program focusing on their mental, sexual, and physical health.
- They worked together with patients and doctors to design this well-being program, hoping it would help more patients learn about and use the services available to them, which could make their lives better.
Context: Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) are prescribed off-label for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE).
Objective: To systematically review the evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) for PDE5-Is in the management of PE.
Evidence Acquisition: Medline and other databases were searched through September 2015.
Introduction: Premature ejaculation (PE) is defined as ejaculation within 1 minute (lifelong PE) or 3 minutes (acquired PE), inability to delay ejaculation, and negative personal consequences. Management includes behavioral and pharmacologic approaches.
Aim: To systematically review effectiveness, safety, and robustness of evidence for complementary and alternative medicine in managing PE.
Eutectic Mixture of Local Anaesthetics (EMLA) is recommended for use off-label as a treatment for premature ejaculation (PE). Other topical anaesthetics are available, some of which have been evaluated against oral treatments. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) for topical anaesthetics in the management of PE.

Aim: To systematically review the randomized controlled trial (RCT) evidence for behavioral therapies in the management of PE.
Background: Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic prescribed off-label for the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE). However, tramadol may cause addiction and difficulty in breathing and the beneficial effect of tramadol in PE is yet not supported by a high level of evidence. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCT) for tramadol in the management of PE.
