Summary
This pilot study tested low-intensity shock wave therapy (LiSWT) in 25 men with erectile dysfunction after a pelvic fracture and urethral injury. The treatment uses a device that delivers gentle shock waves to the penis to improve blood flow. Researchers measured changes in penile blood flow and erectile function scores over 12 months.
