Abstract

Introduction: This research is an integrative review of the literature with the general objective of identifying the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic procedures in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). The research consisted of a literature review with articles published between 2001 and 2021, searches for articles were carried out in the main online databases, Pubmed, BVS, SciELO and PEDro. The findings indicate that pelvic physiotherapy has effective physiotherapeutic approaches for the treatment of ED, such as electrotherapy and kinesiotherapy approaches, requiring more specific studies for an appropriate protocol, intervening primarily in the cause of the problem.
