This patent delineates methods of treating several peripheral vascular disease states, including female sexual dysfunction and Raynaud disease, using a nitric oxide donor (such as nitroglycerin) or a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, such as sildenafil citrate (Viagra, Pfizer). Diminished levels of endogenous nitric oxide have been associated, at least in part, with these diseases.

Raynaud disease, a vasoconstrictive condition causing pain and discomfort to the fingers and toes of an estimated 28 million people in the United States, can occur in both men and women.
