本文对用于鉴别诊断勃起障碍的夜间阴茎肿胀 (NPT) 方法的大量文献进行了批判性回顾。它讨论了该方法的有效性以及对于充分解释结果而言重要的几个理论和实践问题。 NPT 数据主要被认为是为效力问题提供诊断工具。此外，NPT 研究可能会提供有关介导男性性功能的中枢神经生物学过程的重要信息。
This article provides a critical review of the extensive literature on the nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) method for the differential diagnosis of erectile disorders. It discusses the validity of the method and several theoretical and practical issues of importance for the adequate interpretation of results. NPT data have been considered primarily as providing a diagnostic tool for potency problems. NPT studies may contribute, in addition, significant information on central neurobiological processes that mediate male sexual function.
