A total of 186 patients with chronic early Peyronie’s disease (PD) were assigned to either 300 mg CoQ10 daily or placebo for 24 weeks. Erectile function (EF), pain during erection, plaque volume, penile curvature and treatment satisfaction using patient versions of the Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) questionnaire were assessed at baseline and every 4 weeks during study period. EF was assessed using International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), and pain was evaluated with a visual analog scale (VAS, 0-10). After 24 weeks, mean IIEF-5 score, mean VAS score and mean EDITS score improved significantly in patients receiving CoQ10 (all P<0.01). Mean plaque size and mean penile curvature degree were decreased in the CoQ10 group, whereas a slight increase was noted in the placebo group, resulting in a significant difference between groups (both P=0.001). Mean index of IIEF-5 in 24-week treatment period was 17.8 ± 2.7 in the CoQ10 group and 8.8 ± 1.5 in the placebo group (P=0.001). Of the patients in CoQ10 group, 11 (13.6%) had disease progression compared to 46 (56.1%) in placebo group (P=0.01). Int J Impot Res. 2010 Sep-Oct;22(5):298-309. PMID: 20720560.
