What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

Patients presenting with erectile dysfunction are often found to have increased corporal firmness on elastography. We hypothesize that this corporal firmness reflects reversable changes that can be altered by Low-Intensity Shockwave Therapy (LiST). In this pilot study patients found to have increased corporal firmness will be treated with LiST.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for sexually active men aged 18-64 with erectile dysfunction who have shown increased penile firmness on elastography. Participants must consent to the study's procedures and be available throughout its duration. Men using erectogenic medications, those with penile implants, cardiac devices, or sensitive to electromagnetic radiation are excluded.
