Low-intensity shockwave versus wave therapy for erectile and pelvic pain
Part of Kidney & urinary, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of low-intensity wave therapy to see which works better for erectile dysfunction and/or chronic pelvic pain. Participants may benefit if these therapies improve erection quality and reduce pelvic pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult man (18+) and heterosexual with a willing sexual partner for penetration
- For erectile dysfunction (ED): your symptoms must be mild to moderate, based on a questionnaire score from the last 3 months
- If you currently use a pill like Viagra/Cialis/“PDE5 inhibitors,” you may need to stop it for 4 weeks before and during the study
- For ED: your morning testosterone must be above 300 ng/dL
- For chronic pelvic pain (CPPS): you must have ongoing pelvic pain with no current urine infection and be willing to do pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT)

This study tests a new treatment using low-intensity shockwaves to help men with erectile dysfunction who have not responded well to standard pills. It may offer an alternative to improve erectile function.
This study tests whether shockwave therapy—a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves—can help improve erectile dysfunction. If you qualify, you'll receive shockwave treatments and answer questions about your sexual function over time.
This study tests whether low-energy shockwave therapy can help improve erectile function after prostate removal surgery. It is for men who are having a nerve-sparing prostatectomy and who had normal erections before surgery, to see if this treatment can help them recover erectile function more effectively.
This trial tests whether combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections with low-intensity shock wave therapy works better than PRP alone for men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction. PRP uses your own blood to help healing, and shock waves may improve blood flow to the penis.
This trial combines a low-intensity shockwave treatment with a commonly used injectable medication (collagenase) to see if the combination works better for men with Peyronie's disease who have a noticeable curve and a non-calcified plaque.
This trial tests if pelvic floor therapy (exercises) can help men with erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. It may be a drug-free option to improve your sexual health.
