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

At ED Clinics we never guarantee results. We see positive improvements in most of our patients but some, particularly those with serious underlying conditions, poor health, or long-term symptoms of ED may see little or no benefit.
