This is what the study is looking at. Sounds similar?
Objective: To study why the patient population of post-finasteride syndrome (PFS) patients develops neurological and psychological dysfunction, and to further characterize the sexual side effects of Propecia for hair loss.
Methods: To (i) clinically characterize sexual and psychological function, (ii) assess central and peripheral neurosteroid and hormonal levels, (iii) characterize 5-alpha reductase genomics, (iv) measure peripheral nerve function, and (v) evaluate testicular function of PFS patients.
Why This Study is Important
o This study will evaluate sexual and psychological function in patients with PFS.
o This study will focus on pathophysiological mechanisms of central and peripheral neurological dysfunction in patients with PFS.
o This study will assess fertility parameters in patients with PFS.
o This study will uncover the underlying biological mechanisms related to the wide array of symptoms in PFS patients.
o This study will seek to identify predisposing genetic factors in patients with PFS.
o This study will provide leads for the development of mechanism-specific therapeutic strategies.
