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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
low-intensity shock wave therapy (LiSWT) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug treatment option for erectile dysfunction after pelvic injury.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 25 participants and no control group. Results may not apply to everyone, and the therapy may not work for all.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient with erectile dysfunction post pelvic fracture associated with urethral injury as estimated via urethrography or endoscopy, managed by urethroplasty and proceed for LiSWT sessions, 3 months post operative. * Age 18-70 years. * Patient is able and willing to sign informed consent \& complete all study requirements. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous hypospadias surgery. * Previous surgery for congenital curvature or Peyronie's disease. * Previous pelvic irradiation therapy. * Known grave psychiatric disorder. * Haemophilia or any other clotting disorder that causes bleeding diathesis. * Use of medication to increase erectile function, such as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors and intracavernous injections, during the study. * Other causes of erectile dysfunction either physical causes as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease \& emotional causes. * Any condition or situation that, in the investigator's opinion, puts the patient at significant risk, could confound the study results, or could interfere significantly with the patient's participation in the study.
