Low Intensity Shock-wave Therapy (Li-ESWT) in Penile Rehabilitation After Radical Prostatectomy

NCT03862599 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 100

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is reported in up to 85% of men who have undergone a radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. A few small studies have recently shown that low-intensity shockwave therapy may improve sexual performance in men with ED. However, the optimal dosage and length of treatment is yet to be determined. The investigators propose a randomised trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of low-intensity shockwave therapy in men with ED following prostatectomy surgery.
