Shockwave therapy for penis recovery after prostate cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if low-intensity shockwaves can help men regain erectile function after robot-assisted prostate surgery. If you had nerve-sparing surgery and have good erections before treatment, this may help you recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 75 years old or younger
- Your prostate cancer was low-risk (PSA less than 10, Gleason grade 2 or lower, tumor stage T2 or less)

- You had good erectile function before surgery (score of 17 or higher on the IIEF-5 questionnaire)

This study tests whether low-intensity shock wave therapy can help improve erectile function after robotic prostatectomy for low-risk prostate cancer. It is for men who already had fairly good erections before surgery and want to see if this non-invasive treatment can help their recovery.
This trial tests a program to help men recover erectile function after prostate cancer treatment. It is for men with a specific type of prostate cancer that hasn't spread and who still have some 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 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.
This trial tests a penile rehabilitation program for men who have nerve-sparing prostate cancer surgery. It aims to help improve erections and sexual function after the procedure.
