Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Forty men with type 2 diabetes, chronic erectile dysfunction (>24 months), and documented vitamin D deficiency will be divided into two groups. Both groups will receive cholecalciferol 200,000 IU every two weeks for 12 weeks, while one group will also do supervised treadmill walking for one hour at moderate intensity three times per week for 12 weeks. Participants with cardiac, respiratory, renal, or liver disease are excluded. The study will track changes in erectile function and vitamin D status over the 12‑week period to compare the added effect of exercise versus vitamin D alone.
