What this Trial Is About
This research focuses on obese males aged 35 to 45 who experience subjective tinnitus affecting both ears and sexual dysfunction, specifically erectile dysfunction lasting at least 24 weeks. The study aims to explore how lifestyle changes might influence these conditions by comparing different interventions. It is an interventional trial sponsored by Cairo University. Participants are randomly assigned into two groups, each with 20 males. Both groups follow a low-calorie diet for 12 weeks. Additionally, one group receives supervised aerobic treadmill walking for 45 minutes, three times a week, during the same 12-week period. This design evaluates the combined effect of diet and exercise versus diet alone. Throughout the 12 weeks, researchers will assess erectile function using the International Index of Erectile Function. They will also measure body mass index, waist circumference, tinnitus severity and discomfort via visual scales, the tinnitus handicap inventory, and blood markers such as triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, and the atherogenic index. These assessments provide a comprehensive view of how the interventions impact sexual function, tinnitus, and metabolic health.
